IS IDGIE GAY IN FRIED GREEN TOMATO?
Bh office and a disease killg gay men while the ernment stood by and watched, felt like another example of shame-filled erasure to some. But the book mak clear that Idgie was gay and that she and Ruth were together (or would be) when Ruth sent Idgie that biblil verse.
I am old enough to rell a time--not as far back as this was set, md you--when beg gay was nsired by mastream US culture to be almost as unnatural as sex wh farm animals. There are many, many gay upl who stayed together durg eras of the past, whout ever actually acknowledgg why they are each other's fay. I thk this jt shows how people view upl the gay muny, their ey gloss over the hard tth bee they don't want to thk their favore characters swg that way.
I don't thk the fact that the thor was purposely unclear about the relatnship has anythg to do wh disrpect to the gay/lbian muny.
