Lhe and shirtls, his lavenr hair dye glisteng the morng light, he starts admirg himself the mirror. Workg his angl, he begs applyg eyhadow and some sparklg highlighter, offsettg the fuchsia psy-bow bloe, strg of pearls, and striped rdigan he cis to put on. Then ’s time to film the selfie vio for social media, sellg the look for the some olr gay men watchg, ’s a wish-fulfillment fantasy, glterg wh the nfince and openns they uld not have. For about two mut, seems as if Chter’s sk is peeled back to reveal every flamboyance, anti-genr flourish, and quirk—not to mentn the fort of knowg that others thk he’s fly, too. For some queer members of Gen Z, ’s jt the realy of how they live their liv, which is s own, betiful thg. But for others, ’s still not. That’s what Jtice Smh grappled wh, and why he felt himself blossom after actg out the scene.“I remember feelg really secure that day,” Smh says, the 25-year-old actor’s cheekbon threateng to burst through the Zoom screen as he giggl at himself while we talk. There’s already an embarrassg sense of solu when an actor has to shoot a scene like that solo, let alone one that requir them to work their angl and, for lack of a better phrase, “feel themselv” for a selfie ‘Kid 90’ and Punky Brewster Helped Soleil Moon Frye Release the Pa—and Shame—of Her Past“Sometim when I have to be, like, ‘hot’ as a character, I n play the humor of that, where I’m makg a joke of ,” he says. “But Chter genuely is like, ‘I look hot, I look really good. I have my makp done. I’m gonna do my ltle angl.’ So I’m lookg at myself the selfie mera beg like, I hope this works out…” He doubl over lghg. “Bee I don’t have any experience lookg good.”Clockg the eyeroll g om the other end of the Zoom nnectn, he grs sheepishly. Jtice Smh looks very good. “OK, OK, OK…” he says. “But Chter has really tght me about athetics and angl, and fashn and makp and all this kd of stuff.”Born Anaheim, the fifth of ne siblgs, Smh got his biggt break 2016 when he was st as one of the young leads Baz Luhrmann’s amb Netflix seri The Get Down, a mil drama about life the South Bronx the late 1970s. While at the time one of the most expensive TV shows history, s n was short-lived at jt 11 , nnoned him to the top of Young Hollywood stg wishlists, and soon Smh went om sgg and dancg for the director of Moul Rouge! to the dtry’s new -mand actn star, wh lead rol Jurassic World: Fallen Kgdom and the Pokémon film Detective Pikachu. So when Smh ma his but as Chter Genera+n, was treated by crics as somethg of a seri is created by 19-year-old Zelda Barn and her father, Daniel, makg the rare look at growg up Gen Z that is actually ma by a member of Gen Z. It’s a spotlight for the full spectm of genr and sexual inty that the younger generatn has e to embrace. And ’s a batn tn and horror film for those unaware of the nversatns the kids the days are havg, and the sex and partyg that they’re as culture wrer Joseph Longo wrote Mel magaze, uld also be nsired one of the first exampl of “post-‘It Gets Better’ TV,” shakg the mandate for satly portrayals of queer people, or the ia that “visibily is the same as diversy.” Longo wr: “Queer people n be problematic, toxic and flawed, and Genera+n mak that abundantly clear. It’s good we’re fally seeg our ms splayed on screen, not exced.”Smh’s Chter has issu wh boundari and thory. He suffers om anxiety, which n sometim manift as beg a total jackass. He’s popular, and sometim a bully. But he’s also a solar flare of light a trated generatn: om his fashn to his attu, he is the epome of Smh, ’s a personal role, too. Over the summer, he me out as queer—though he rejects the polics of the phrase “g out.”“I’m so happy to be on this show that is gay as fuck,” he says, practilly bellowg those last three words.“All the characters are gay as hell!” he ntu, his energy cracklg off his limbs as he gticulat. “I mean, not all of them, but I like to say that. But to jt like give a show to queers by queers. Like sure, straight people, you n watch , too. But for so long, queer people have had to try to fd their like reprentatn straight material. And, like, now ’s kd of the other way around.”Comg Out, or Fleeg the ‘Hoe of Assumptn’When Smh starts talkg about the rearch he did to play Chter, he starts gigglg aga. He watched every season of Ameri’s Next Top Mol (and is happy to do his bt Tyra Banks “we were all rootg for you!” imprsn), as well as every episo of RuPl’s Drag Race, cludg the recent ternatnal seasons. “I mean… I jt got to s ont of the TV all day.”It’s a syllab that paid off of the most memorable scen the Genera+n premiere after Chter is sent to the guidance unselor and asked to change his cloth after vlatg the drs ; turns out a rabow-striped, kn crop top secured by overall straps that’s barely long enough to ver your nippl is not school-appropriate. (Let be known that ’s accsorized wh a yellow dog-llar choker, red half-moon sunglass, and tartan harem pants.)To make a show of thgs, he snters to the school’s urtyard, starts shoutg if anyone n sell him a new shirt for a dollar, and strips the crop top off entirely, swivelg his hips and posg as his classmat gawk. Warrick Page/HBO Max “I was jt like, I hope I’m dog Miss J proud,” Smh says, referrg to the legendary Top Mol molg ach. But scen like that tend to feel ls like stttg down the nway and more like teeterg on a tightrope between thartic and trmatizg for the one hand, was impossible not to feel amazg once he put on Chter’s cloth, to the pot that he noticed even his body would move differently.“It’s jt utter, pure self-love,” he says. “And I thk that’s somethg that everyone should experience bee ’s been credible to my own evolutn of self-love and thkg that I look good.” He smirks: “Sometim bleeds to arrogance. I will say that. But that’s not bee of Chter. That’s jt bee I’m a Leo and I am gog to be va.”Even wearg Chter’s nfince, though, he was a ms of nerv shootg the scene. He didn’t breathe, tensg every mcle he had and suckg his stomach as much as possible. Here he was playg a scene which his character uldn’t be more fortable his own sk, yet he was so unrelaxed he uldn’t stop sweatg.“I got a glimpse to how actrs, specifilly, have to do that nstantly,” he says. “Even rol where the pot is not even like, ‘Oh, she’s so hot.’ But bee of this double standard that society has, they’re forced to, like, be hot when they cry. To have their hair done perfectly when they’re emotnal. It’s fucked up. It was a glimpse to that: How do I look attractive and also play my character? So that was really tertg.”While he uldn’t brg himself to say at the time, when he watch the scene back, he n adm, “Damn, Chter looks good.” That’s the kd of revolutnary thg about intifi as queer. In an Instagram post this summer, he exprsed his solidary for Black queer and Black trans liv, wrg his support “as a Black queer man myself” and clarg his love for his boyiend, Nicholas marks the rare ocsn where an actor who publicly intifi as queer is playg a character that isn’t jt also queer, but fierce and nfint. The narrative isn’t rooted his margalizatn or the trma and stggle he experienc. His inty is celebrated, a posive portrayal that queer actors Hollywood still fight for the opportuny to play.“There’s all the amazgly dynamic queer characters, and they go to straight actors. Then those straight actors are lled ‘brave,’ which mak no sense to me,” Smh says. “That’s so sultg. I don’t unrstand how ’s brave to, like, prs your lips agast another human beg’s lips. That is jt somethg that human begs do. It’s not a brave thg to do.” HBO Max The biggt pot for Smh is that he, as a person, is nothg like Chter. He is actg. Playg him is a stretch. They both are queer Black men, but they are not the same person. Not only do he get to play a queer character, but, as an actor, he’s gettg to do real character work—the kd that straight actors are so often ld for when they take on queer , Chter isn’t relegated to beg someone’s bt iend, or the show’s ic relief. “Whenever we’re nonted wh personali that are loud and effervcent and big, society assum that they lack profundy,” he says. “That’s not fair. Extroverted, big personali are jt as plex as the kid the back of the classroom wrg poetry his notebook.”Bee of his feelgs about straight actors playg queer characters, Smh had always planned to, as he lls , “step out of the hoe assumptn” and let people know that he intifi as queer before the show premiered. “Like, I don’t want anyone to ever assume that I’m straight,” he says, sg to say he’s (mostly) kiddg. “That’s so dumb. Don’t assume that. That’s like such an sult.”But he also rejects the ia of “g out,” the ia that dividuals owe the rt of the world an announcement about their sexualy. “When you’re a public figure, the hoe of assumptn is built around you,” he says. “And then everyone cid, you need to tell who you fuck.”It was durg the Black Liv Matter ralli over the summer—”the revolutn,” he lls —that he need to get out of the hoe of assumptn, and he wanted to associate himself wh the msage of protectg Black queerns when he did .Brgg back to Genera+n, he says, “I jt love that this show kd of celebrat all that progrs. The characters are open and fluid and alg wh the nuanc of sexualy, and not jt sexualy self.”It’s about gettg to be “gay as fuck”—but also so much more at The Daily our top stori your box every day.

ION FURY DEVELOPER BACKTRACKS, SAYS IT WON'T REMOVE GAY JOKE BEE OF 'CENSORSHIP'
The term “homosexualy, ” while sometim nsired anachronistic the current era, is the most applible and easily translatable term to e when askg this qutn across societi and languag and has been ed other cross-natnal studi, cludg the World Valu Survey. Dpe major chang laws and norms surroundg the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opn on the acceptance of homosexualy society remas sharply divid by untry, regn and enomic velopment. In many of the untri surveyed, there also are differenc on acceptance of homosexualy by age, tn, e and, some stanc, genr – and several s, the differenc are substantial.
For example, some untri, those who are affiliated wh a relig group tend to be ls acceptg of homosexualy than those who are unaffiliated (a group sometim referred to as relig “non”). For example, Swen, the Netherlands and Germany, all of which have a per-pa gross domtic product over $50, 000, acceptance of homosexualy is among the hight measured across the 34 untri surveyed.
The study is a follow-up to a 2013 report that found many of the same patterns as seen today, although there has been an crease acceptance of homosexualy across many of the untri surveyed both years.
WAS LLN GAY?
But sub-Saharan Ai, the Middle East, Rsia and Ukrae, few say that society should accept homosexualy; only South Ai (54%) and Israel (47%) do more than a quarter hold this view.
However, while took nearly 15 years for acceptance to rise 13 pots om 2000 to jt before the feral legalizatn of gay marriage June 2015, there was a near equal rise acceptance jt the four years sce legalizatn. This difference was most pronounced South Korea, where 79% of 18- to 29-year-olds say homosexualy should be accepted by society, pared wh only 23% of those 50 and olr. This staggerg 56-pot difference exceeds the next largt difference Japan by 20 pots, where 92% and 56% of those ag 18 to 29 and 50 and olr, rpectively, say homosexualy should be accepted by society.
HOW THE ANAL NCER EPIMIC GAY AND BI HIV-POSIVE MEN N BE PREVENTED
In most untri surveyed, those who have greater levels of tn are signifintly more likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted society than those who have ls tn.
In a siar number of untri, those who earn more money than the untry’s natnal median e also are more likely to say they accept homosexualy society than those who earn ls.
GAY MAN, IN GAY SLANG CROSSWORD CLUE
In many of the untri where there are measurements of iology on a left-right sle, those on the left tend to be more acceptg of homosexualy than those on the iologil right. In South Korea, for example, those who classify themselv on the iologil left are more than twice as likely to say homosexualy is acceptable than those on the iologil right (a 39-percentage-pot difference).
In a siar ve, those who support right-wg populist parti Europe, many of which are seen by LGBT groups as a threat to their rights, are ls supportive of homosexualy society. In Spa, people wh a favorable opn of the Vox party, which recently has begun to oppose some gay rights, are much ls likely to say that homosexualy is acceptable than those who do not support the party.
And Poland, supporters of the erng PiS (Law and Jtice), which has explicly targeted gay rights as anathema to tradnal Polish valu, are 23 percentage pots ls likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted by society than those who do not support the erng party. But even untri like France and Germany where acceptance of homosexualy is high, there are differenc between supporters and non-supporters of key right-wg populist parti such as Natnal Rally France and Alternative for Germany (AfD).
THE REAL REASON SAMI GAYLE LEFT BLUE BLOODS
Relign, both as relat to relative importance people’s liv and actual relig affiliatn, also plays a large role perceptns of the acceptabily of homosexualy many societi across the globe. In 25 of the 34 untri surveyed, those who say relign is “somewhat, ” “not too” or “not at all” important their liv are more likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted than those who say relign is “very” important.
Among Israelis, those who say relign is not very important their liv are almost three tim more likely than those who say relign is very important to say that society should accept homosexualy. For example, those who are religly unaffiliated, sometim lled relig “non, ” (that is, those who intify as atheist, agnostic or “nothg particular”) tend to be more acceptg of homosexualy.
