HE-MAN’S FIVE GAYT ADVENTUR
When to the classic Filmatn televisn seri, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, ’s not much of a stretch to fd homoerotic subtext s ham-fisted dialogue and hyper-mascule, btish-ns. However, there are tim the sci-fi hero’s qut to fight the forc of evil wh his “fabulo secret powers” that seems to move beyond mere advertent sexual suggtn and right to “oh, that’s jt gay” terrory.
Here are five of He-Man’s gayt moments. As a gay man himself, Sheridan also brgs the queer lens to the material, brgg the existg LGBTQ them that have ma He-Man somethg of a gay in (not to mentn a viral sensatn) to the fore.
We sat down wh David & Sheridan to discs the new show, He-Man’s ironic, if endurg, gay fanbase, and fulfillg their lifelong dream to brg a more adult tone to the seri. Superman isn’t gay.
