Startg wh Mickey’s rcue of a dg-addled Ian and culmatg wh last night’s brawl-ducg g-out scene, the two are fally makg good on four seasons of simmerg the start, Monaghan’s Ian Gallagher was touted as a “unique” gay character on televisn.

And while ’s te that Ian is a b more rough and tumble than your ual gay stereotype, he’s still a fairly sensive boy. Another part is Ian’s volvement the gay-club and prostutn scene. But the eedom and relief Mickey feels kissg Ian public whout reprisal, or beg told he’s “lucky” to have Ian at an affluent gay mixer, is eye-openg and embolng for the poor kid.
