THE LOST BOYS IS GAY AND I N PROVE
Characters Lost that are known to be lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr. Be s archetyp or the relatnships held by s characters, Dracula has always been a subverted narrative of the male will attemptg to overe a primal, homogeneo hunger. For stance, I found que disturbg that Michael unsuccsfully tri to prey on his younger brother while he bath—an odd alln to homophobic stereotyp that, while played for lghs, only plit the subtext.
Schumacher, an openly gay director and screenwrer, took on the film when lost s origal director. Come for the homoerotic subtext, stay for the shirtls saxophonist. Still, even the most beloved of the films seem to e up short reprentatn that was diverse or very accurate, most brimmg wh sual homophobia that is played for lghs and remas pretty hard to digt.
I gus was a rult of ternalized homophobia I rried when I was a lot younger, but took a very long time for me to accept myself and give to my very queer, very real inty. From that pot forward, the film be entirely about Sam and the Frog brothers tryg to save Michael om the dark strangers and their supernatural gay fluence, stroyg each and every one of them on the way. As an openly gay man, I doubt that this was Schumacher’s tentn, but havg Michael revert when the other vampir are killed, only to end up wh Star, wraps The Lost Boys up a very borg heteronormative bow.
