Here's why:The Biggt Reason: the Mcl and the Dus the Mcl Are Attached ToWhat a neon se: Warrrs preparg to fend the Wt (Ameri) om barbarians om the EastWhat a du-bro se: Some Persians about to get a gay du se: Heaven. Gay guys do have more terts than jt sewy almost-naked men. But we're not gog to prive ourselv of a movie anchise which provis sewy almost-naked men, jt to prove Symbolism and Insi JokWhat a neon se: Warrrs preparg to fend the Wt (Ameri) om barbarians om the EastWhat a du-bro se: Some Persians about to get a gay du se: Sorry, I'm way to watch 300 is to kd of pretend 's seepg subversive symbolism (which may or may not be), and you're the only one who gets (you're not).

10 REASONS WHY "300" IS GAY

There was a lot of olr-younger same-sex relatnships Athens (which you may have read about llege), and Sparta's ary, men fed homosexual bonds wh one another. "At Sparta, for example, the separatn of the sex at an early age, together wh attus peculiar to other Greeks on the role of women, rulted overtly homosexual relatnships centerg on life the barracks, " an Amerin ary historian and scholar wrote his book The Wtern Way of War. Passed on bee beme a gay love story stead of a fully actn-packed war film.

Bh-era Ameri, and yet, apparently ’s still impossible to make a succsful big-budget war film that doubl as a gay romance. Unfortunately, you won’t be seeg that movie anytime soon, bee when the Army of the Dead -wrer/director tried to wre a 300 sequel, he end up penng a gay love story featurg Alexanr the Great; which Warner Bros wants no part there was the entire bacle over Jtice League and the planned Snyrverse, Zack Snyr and Warner Bros. Totally gay, acrdg to this still-tglg viewer:I ught 300 last night and thought I'd pass on my thoughts.
