IS BENO BLANC GAY KNIV OUT & GLASS ONN? HIS PARTNER EXPLAED

RE: Are Tweek & Craig Actually Gay.

TL:DR: I thk they were straight and ma a special place for each other their heads om the msed up circumstanc, or found out they were gay or bi maybe as unfold. But by nformg to what was expected of them they end up takg on the role as gay bee the town nvced them they are (this is also seemgly a pot of nfn for them and Craig's dad as is happeng). They both said they weren't gay but are totally ignored and shut down by PC Prcipal - I thk them beg normal dus who got wrapped up this random fad and then totally silenced about their own views, even by people that were opposed to the gayns but got swept up the mon view (like Craig's dad) are large ntributors to the ridiculons and statement.

DANIEL CRAIG ON HIS CHARACTER'S GAY RELATNSHIP 'KNIV OUT' SEQUEL: 'IT'S NORMAL'

Shortly after they're livg as a gay uple. Many gay people the past have had to pretend to be straight when wasn't an accepted thg, and this is a reversal of that to show how 's sort of a msed up suatn to be where that external prsure is so strong you are forced to a suatn pletely outsi of what you've stated your posn is.

IS G FRG GAY? BETTER CALL SL ALL BUT CONFIRMS IT

So my personal take out of all that is that they were straight origally (or at least thought that), end up livg this gay thg to appease everyone, which led to an actual relatnship formg between them, which may progrs to be more and more siar to a full romantic attachment as they age and figure out how all that stuff works. You probably all know the "JoJo is gay" meme, but what characters are ACTUALLY gay/bisexual etc. And no, Grno isn't gay I don't thk he has feelgs for anyone, I mean characters like D or Pucci, you know, characters like that.

Wh the book self, avoid Tokenism or playg to promiscuo bi stereotyp or But Not Too Bi by havg Loki go sans love tert, and stead spend the n sually flirtg wh both genrs and makg their bisexual attractn clear whout Have I Mentned I Am Gay? There are ma and supportg characters strongly implied to be bisexual or gay.

“ASK A PRIT: IS IT OK TO WRE A NOVEL WH GAY CHARACTERS?”

Phastos is the first official gay superhero an MCU film and is also a gay black man, makg him a "twofer mory" who is almost never shown to exist mastream Hollywood. Love, Simon beme a major movie for those of the LGBT muny bee of havg a closeted, gay teen ma character role whout stereotypg him and givg the protagonist a love tert. Brooklyn Ne-Ne: Bis the fact has a diverse st (cludg a Jewish-Amerin lead, two Hispanic-Amerin women, and two Ain-Amerin men, alongsi their fai and a racially diverse supportg st), B99 attracted a lot of attentn for Capta Raymond Holt, a middle-aged gay black man, providg reprentatn for the LGBTQ muny outsi of the typil young attractive whe gay/lbian sector.

Addg to this, Holt avoid pretty much every gay stereotype, beg The Stoic and Comilly Ser, Memetic Badass, and A Father to His Men, while also havg a genuely touchg and romantic relatnship wh his hband Kev, leadg to Holt beg appld as one of the bt s characters years and garnerg the show a great al of attentn om the LGBTQ muny. Star Trek: Disvery got a lot of attentn for featurg the anchise's first homosexual characters Pl Stamets and Hugh Culber, played by real-life gay actors Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cz, although unfortunately this got them some hot water when Culber was temporarily killed, and the huge backlash forced them to spoil that he'd be g back and the story wasn't jt Bury Your Gays. At the same time Star Trek: Pird brought back Seven of Ne wh Word of Gay om Jeri Ryan that she was bisexual, and she ends the first season holdg hands wh female character Rafi, what some saw as a Take That!

‘IT’S NORMAL’: DANIEL CRAIG SAYS GAY RELATNSHIP KNIV OUT ‘REFLECTS MY LIFE’

To Rick Berman, who was sglehandly rponsible for killg jt about every attempt to troduce LGBT characters to the anchise the '80s and '90s, sayg wouldn't feel natural to show gay upl holdg hands. The st also clus gays and trans as well and often tacklg issu like bigotry and beg fortable wh who you are spe peer prsure.

Even more so when a good majory of the st turned out to be gay, bi, or trans.

Yamo herself is a major advote for gay pri on Twter so that likewise helped.
