‘OUTLANR’S’ LORD JOHN GREY, A GREAT GAY CHARACTER, NEEDS A SPOFF

At the time, eighteenth-century gay characters were maly relegated to foppish portrayals, or they were almost stantly killed off what has been dubbed the “Bury Your Gays” trope. In any se, ’s about time that we had a historil seri whose ma character is gay, and who isn’t a stereotype that we’ve seen a ln tim over. It’s past time that we had a historil drama featurg a gay character that we n all cheer for.

In one of the more tenr scen om “Of Lost Thgs, ” the fourth episo om Starz’ Outlanr, Jamie (Sam Hghan) offers his body to Lord John Grey (David Berry), a closeted gay soldier, exchange for watchg over his son, Willie, after he returns to Stland.

"But he's also a closeted gay man wh feelgs for protagonist Jamie Fraser—feelgs that are not reciproted. "He’s also a gay man, a time when to be homosexual was a pal offense, and Lord John has more than most to lose by disvery. As well as new is an Atralian actor bt known for rol on the seri Home and Away and A Place To Call Home, where he played a gay man 1950s Atralia.
