IS MERCUT GAY?
* was mercutio gay *
Sendly I’d like to expla that my recent readg of Mercuts character I was liberately lookg for homosexual tras, thgs that intify wh the LGBT world and wh the character of Mercut, many of the lks are weak at bt, but uld go some way to queerg one of the Bards most outrageo characters. So Mercut is gay bee he don’t like Rosale and says Romeo would be better off wh an Open arse that looks like the u of a Medlar Tree… Is that ? In fact wasn’t until they 1800’s that beg Gay was specifilly ma illegal and punishable, even si your own 4 walls.
So, tim and attus to beg gay weren’t actually that bad at the time. In the 1996 Romeo and Juliet film Mercut drs up as a woman and acts que mp, and I wonred if Mercut was possibly gay. ” Johae explas that past scholars such as Phillipa Hawker have claimed that there is evince of a homoerotic relatnship between Romeo and Mercut Luhrmann’s film, and “So upbeat is Mercut’s mercurial cross-drsg and mp behavr at the Capulet party that appears as a sign of his transgenr inty” (304).
Gog beyond the “rnival” theory, to tomatilly assume that bee Mercut wears a drs that he wants to be a woman would be rrect- there is a whole muny of gay men, the “drag” muny, who drs up and perform as women but have no sire for genr reassignment surgery. On the assumptn that Mercut is gay, the suatn of a homoerotic relatnship between he and Romeo seems plsible, as Mercut appears to be jealo when Romeo do not pay attentn to him, always sarstilly brgg up Rosale, the girl he thks Romeo is still enamored wh. Sce the oppose of love is not hate but difference, Mercut’s sensive and fensive reactn to the accatn of homosexualy may dite that he is gay.

None seem to display any homophobia towards Mercut, which may dite that Mercut is not queer any way, shape, or form, or that Luhrmann’s Verona Beach universe, is “okay” to be queer, or both. I do a ep dive and unver trac of evince that suggt we had a gay there’s one thg that everyone the world has mon, ’s an unfortunate and often shamefully hidn love of tryg to figure out whether or not famo people are gay. Google any famo name pl the word gay, and you’ll fd that someone’s beaten you to the speculative punch.
William Shakpeare gets a particular amount of attentn the gay/straight arena. And the roundg answer is… of evince that support the possibily of a gay Shakpeare. I end up wanrg ep to this rabb hole (no immature pun tend) and dug up the 11 piec of evince that are prented “oh yeah, Shakpeare was gay” bate.

The whole “master mistrs of my passn” thg draws a lot of attentn… but the last two l, which basilly say, “You’ve got a nice penis that women really like, so go stick to them but save the emotnal love for me, ” put Son 20 over the ’s so blatant that the people the “Shakpeare wasn’t gay” mp really only argue that this poem isn’t necsarily wrten by Shakpeare as Shakpeare… but, rather, uld be him wrg as a character.
