‘THE SANDMAN’ KEPT A DISTURBG LBIAN PLOT—AND IS BETTER FOR ITTWISTSWH THE NEED FOR POSIVE QUEER REPRENTATN DOMATG DISURSE ABOUT TV, ’S A SURPRISE THAT “THE SANDMAN” DIDN’T SHY AWAY OM A NTROVERSIAL BUT NECSARY STORYLE.ER BRADYUPDATED AUG. 10, 2022 5:19AM EDT / PUBLISHED AUG. 10, 2022 4:42AM EDT NETFLIXTHE LANDSPE FOR LBIAN-ADJACENT TELEVISN IS A B STRANGE RIGHT NOW. FOR EVERY PRTIGE SERI LIKE YELLOWJACKETS, THERE IS A NCELED CHEY ROMP LIKE FIRST KILL. A MORE SATISFYG BALANCE BETWEEN SER DRAMAS AND EASY-TO-WATCH GUILTY PLEASUR HASN’T PARTICULARLY BEEN ACHIEVED YET, EVEN IF LBIAN REPRENTATN HAS CREASED ON BOTH BLE AND STREAMG RECENT YEARS.GLAAD’S WHERE WE ARE ON TV REPORT FOR THE 2021-2022 SEASON REPORTS THAT LBIAN CHARACTERS MAKE UP 40 PERCENT OF LGBTQ+ CHARACTERS ON SHOWS CURRENTLY BROADSTG. HOWEVER, WHETHER THE CHARACTERS ARE WRTEN TO BE MORE THAN JT WALKG STEREOTYP PENDS ON WHO YOU ASK. SERLY, THK OF THE LBIAN CHARACTERS YOU SEE ON TV CURRENTLY, THEN THK ABOUT IF THEY ARE GIVEN ANY STORYL BIS THOSE VOLVG THEIR SEXUALY. CAN YOU THK OF ANY THAT DON’T?THAT BRGS TO NETFLIX’S RECENTLY RELEASED SERI, THE SANDMAN. ADAPTG THE NEIL GAIMAN, SAM KIETH, AND MIKE DRGENBERG ICS OF THE SAME NAME, LARGELY TELLS THE STORY OF DREAM (TOM STURRIDGE), A POWERFUL BEG ATTEMPTG TO RTORE HIS FULL POWERS AFTER A LENGTHY ABSENCE. WHEN ARRIVED ON NETFLIX ON AUG. 5, WAS MET WH MOSTLY POSIVE REVIEWS BASED ON S FAHFULNS TO S SOURCE MATERIAL.THE SHOW ACTUALLY DO A FAIRLY GOOD JOB AT CLUDG LGBTQ+ CHARACTERS THAT ARE MORE THAN THEIR INTI—MASON ALEXANR PARK’S ERATN OF DIRE HAS THE CHANCE TO BE A NONBARY AWAKENG FOR SOME VIEWERS. THIS IS PARTLY BEE THE ENTIRE NCEPT OF THE SANDMAN IS ONE THAT NNOT BE CIRCUMVENTED TO STRICT BARI OR SOCIETAL NORMS. WHILE MIGHT NOT BE A W FOR EVERYONE WHO WATCH , YOU N’T NY THAT SUCCEEDS SHOWSG LGBTQ+ INTI THAT AREN’T THERE FOR SHALLOW REPRENTATN POTS. LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX AND THERE MIGHT NOT BE A CHARACTER THAT FI WHAT MAK FOR GOOD LGBTQ+ CLN BETTER THAN DAISY HEAD’S JUDY. SHE MAK HER APPEARANCE THE EPISO “24/7,” WHICH IS DIRECTLY ADAPTED OM THE “24 HOURS” STORY OM THE FIRST SANDMAN VOLUME, TLED “PRELUS & NOCTURN.” WHILE SHE IS EXPLICLY A LBIAN BOTH THE IC STORY AND THE EPISO, SHE HAS A STORYLE THE FORMER THAT I ASSUMED WOULD BE PLETELY WRTEN OUT OF THE ADAPTATN DUE TO S NTROVERSIAL NATURE. LO AND BEHOLD, WAS PRERVED ALMOST TO A T THE SERI, A MOVE THAT WAS THE BT ONE TO MAKE OUR CURRENT MEDIA CLIMATE.IN ORR TO GET AN IA OF WHY THIS CISN WAS THE BT ONE, LET’S REP JUDY’S JOURNEY THROUGHOUT “24/7.” SHE ARRIV AT A DER A DISTRSED STATE, NOT UNLIKE THE OTHER ATTENDANTS OF THE RTRANT. IT TURNS OUT THE PATRONS OF THE DER WERE ALL PUT UNR A CURSE BY JOHN DEE (DAVID THEWLIS), WHICH PROGRS AS THE EPISO GO ON.AS SHE SCRIB TO THE WARS, SHE AND HER UNSEEN GIRLIEND, DONNA, HAD GOTTEN TO A PRETTY NASTY FIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE. JUDY HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TOUCH WH DONNA SCE THAT FIGHT, SPE HER NUMERO ATTEMPTS TO DO SO. WHEN SHE RECEIV A LL OM A MUTUAL IEND, SHE HOP THAT WILL FD A LEAD HER SEARCH, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE IEND HASN’T HEARD OM DONNA. THE EXCHANGE IS AWKWARD. IT IS CLEAR TO THE DIENCE THAT SOMETHG SEEMS UP WH THE IEND, BUT JUDY EHER N’T PICK UP OR IGNOR ALTOGETHER.THE TE STORY BEHD JUDY’S FIGHT WH HER GIRLIEND IS STEADILY REVEALED. SHE EVENTUALLY NFS THAT SHE EQUENTLY GETS JEALO AND PARANOID OVER WHAT DONNA DO. WHEN ASKED WHETHER THE FEELGS HAVE ANY BASIS REALY, JUDY ADMS THAT THEY DON’T, KNOWG EP DOWN THAT HER GIRLIEND WOULD NEVER ACTUALLY BE UNFAHFUL SPE HER PARANOIA.THIS SHADY AND IRRATNAL BEHAVR PLANTS THE SEEDS OF THE ULTIMATE SECRET THAT JUDY WAS HIDG. AFTER ENGAGG A HEFTY MAKEOUT SSN WH DER WARS BETTE (EMMA DUNN), SHE REVEALS THAT SHE HAD H DONNA THE FACE DURG THEIR FIGHT THE PREV NIGHT, LEADG THE LATTER TO WALK OUT ON HER. IT’S NOT CLEAR WHAT THE EXTENT OF THE VLENCE WAS, NOR IF JUDY ACTUALLY IS REMORSEFUL FOR WHAT SHE DID. HOWEVER, ANYONE PAYG ATTENTN TO THE HTS DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE EPISO REGARDG HER TE NATURE SHOULD REALIZE THAT JUDY IS JEALO, NTROLLG, AND NOW THAT SHE H DONNA, ABIVE. NEEDLS TO SAY, SHE ISN’T A STELLAR EXAMPLE OF POSIVE LBIAN REPRENTATN ON TELEVISN. GIVEN HOW THE FIRST SEASON OF THE SANDMAN PREMIERED ON NETFLIX DIRECTLY AFTER THE STREAMER NCELLED THE TEEN-CENTERED ROMANCE FIRST KILL, WHICH HAD A LBIAN UPLE AS S CENTRAL PROTAGONISTS, IS LIKELY THAT SOME VIEWERS MIGHT VIEW THIS JUXTAPOSN AN UNFAVORABLE LIGHT. AFTER ALL, WHY IS A BURGEONG AND RELATIVELY HEALTHY ROMANCE BETWEEN TWO YOUNG WOMEN NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE STREAMER, BUT ’S PERFECTLY OKAY FOR A LBIAN CHARACTER TO BE ABIVE? WHOUT THE PROPER NTEXT, ULD SEEM LIKE THE PLATFORM IS ATTEMPTG TO MONIZE LBIANS BY SHOWG THEM A WORSE LIGHT RATHER THAN A POSIVE ONE.WHILE IS TE THAT NETFLIX AND OTHER STREAMG PLATFORMS OFTEN FAIL WH THEIR LGBTQ+ REPRENTATN, THIS EXAMPLE DON’T EXACTLY HOLD UP. THE TTH IS THAT REPRENTATN ON TELEVISN BY SELF IS NOT ENOUGH TO PROPERLY REPLITE REAL LIFE. JT BEE THERE ARE LBIAN CHARACTERS ON A CERTA SHOW DON’T MEAN THEIR CHARACTERIZATN IS ANY WAY REPRENTATIVE OF ACTUAL RELATNSHIPS OFF SCREEN. THIS N BE APPLIED TO ANY LGBTQ+ INTY, AS WELL—HOW MANY QUEER PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY BE WILLG TO ENGAGE AN A PELLA P!NK RENDN AS SHOWN THEY/THEM?UNFORTUNATELY, DOMTIC PHYSIL AND SEXUAL VLENCE IS SOMETHG THAT WOMEN WH SEXUAL ATTRACTN TO OTHER WOMEN ARE NOT HERENTLY IMMUNE TO. ACRDG TO THE NATNAL INTIMATE PARTNER AND SEXUAL VLENCE SURVEY OM 2010, AROUND 43 PERCENT OF WOMEN THAT INTIFY AS LBIANS HAD EXPERIENCED “RAPE, PHYSIL VLENCE, AND/OR STALKG BY AN TIMATE PARTNER DURG THEIR LIFETIME.” SPANNG TO THE GENERAL SAPPHIC MUNY, AROUND 61 PERCENT OF BISEXUAL WOMEN REPORTED THE SAME ANSWER.WHILE THIS DATA ULD BE NSIRED OUTDATED, MORE RECENT STUDI BACK UP S CLAIMS. ONE NDUCTED BY LGBTQ+-CENTRIC SUPPORT ANIZATN NETWORK/LA RED 2019 SAID THAT AROUND 62 PERCENT OF LBIAN PARTICIPANTS REACHED OUT FOR HELP “WHEN THEY FELT UNSAFE THEIR RELATNSHIP(S).” ANOTHER REPORT, THIS TIME CREATED BY THE LOS ANGEL LGBT CENTER, POSS THAT TRADNAL/HETEROSEXUAL-CENTERED METHODS OF DOMTIC VLENCE TERVENTN ARE EFFECTIVE WHEN NDUCTED LGBTQ+ RELATNSHIPS. THIS IS DUE TO A NUMBER OF REASONS, WH THE POTENTIAL FOR OUTG CHIEF AMONG THEM. LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX THE STATISTICS SHOULD NOT BE ED TO AME LBIAN RELATNSHIPS AS DANGERO. ON THE NTRARY, AS IS IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN UNFORTABLE TTH THAT EXISTS ALL RELATNSHIPS, WHETHER BETWEEN A STRAIGHT UPLE OR A GAY UPLE: THERE IS THE CHANCE THAT SOMEONE THE RELATNSHIP ULD ABE THEIR POWER. BY IGNORG THE FACT THAT SOME LBIANS EXPERIENCE ABE AT THE HANDS OF THEIR PARTNERS, WE ARE PRETENDG THAT THE SHEER POSSIBILY OF SUCH EXPERIENC IS IMPOSSIBLE SIMPLY BEE THE RELATNSHIP IS BETWEEN TWO WOMEN.I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE IMPORTANCE OF PISM ART. OF URSE, MANY VIEWERS ARE LOOKG FOR THE SAME TYP OF CHEY ROMANC AND UNREALISTIC STORI THAT STRAIGHT UPL CENTER AROUND ALL THE TIME. WE DO NEED MORE OF THOSE TYP OF STORI, WHETHER THROUGH MOVI, TELEVISN, OR OTHER FORMS OF ART. IT IS A SHAME THAT TELEVISN SHOWS AREN’T PROVIDG SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH LGBTQ+ REPRENTATN TO PROPERLY TELL THE STORI. ON THE OTHER HAND, IS UNFAIR TO WRE OFF A RARE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HOW SOME LGBTQ+ PEOPLE N END UP ABG THEIR PARTNERS BEE ISN’T PART OF ONE OF THE MORE POSIVE STORI.THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THE SANDMAN PRERVG THE SUBPLOT OF JUDY’S SECRET ABE IS SO IMPORTANT. WHEN WE ASK FOR BETTER LBIAN REPRENTATN MEDIA, WE SHOULD BE ASKG FOR MORE PLEX AND REALISTIC PICTNS OF THE RELATNSHIPS. THIS MEANS NOT SHYG AWAY OM POTENTIALLY DIFFICULT RELATNSHIPS OR UNLIKEABLE CHARACTERS, EVEN IF THAT UNLIKEABILY REACH S EXTREM.OF URSE, THIS DON’T MEAN EXPECTG ALL LBIAN CHARACTERS MOVG FORWARD TO BE ASSHOL, BUT WHEN A TERRIBLE CHARACTER WHO IS TERRIBLE TO HER LOVER IS EXPLICLY LABELED AS A LBIAN, SHOULDN’T TOMATILLY BE NSIRED BAD REPRENTATN. WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT TOXIC AND SOMETIM ABIVE RELATNSHIPS N OCCUR REGARDLS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN, WE ARE PRENTG A MORE THENTIC AND NUANCED LOOK AT LGBTQ+ ROMANCE, SOMETHG WE NEED NOW MORE THAN EVER. ER BRADY

” The thor add: “When I was wrg , and today, I had gay iends, I had trans iends. Fortunately, The Sandman’s pictn of queerns is very progrsive, prentg a world whout homophobia, biphobia or transphobia – siar ve to recent Netflix productns such as the horror romance seri The Hntg of Bly Manor and vampire romance First Kill (which was jt ntroversially axed, not over ), as well as Dan Levy’s ld Canadian edy Scht’s Creek.

There were low-key elements of homophobia episo five, however, as Bette – who is well-aware of Judy’s sexualy – tri to fd her a romantic match wh a man nervoly wag for a job terview the der. But, as we saw om the fal moments, was more likely a se of ternalised homophobia as the two women proceed to share several passnate kiss unr the thrall of David Thewlis’ strangely sympathetic villa John Dee. The Corthian fails to nform to harmful long-nng trop such as the “Sissy Villa” and the “Depraved Homosexual”, where evil characters are fed by their flamboyance and femy – suatg that queerns is herently bad and directly rponsible for their nefar acts the procs.

Wh the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope alive and well (still ragg over Killg Eve), viewers expected Rose’s iend to befall a siar fate to his other victims – whout ey and, well, ad. Speakg to The Queer Review, Gaiman said: “When I was wrg , and today, I had gay iends, I had trans iends. “I remember gettg a very gmpy letter om the ‘Concerned Mothers of Ameri’, rmg that due to the number of gay characters Sandman they would be boyttg and we had to repent, ” he said.
