RE-EXAMG THE FAMO GAY SUBTEXT OF ‘BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID’ 50 YEARS LATER
* butch and sundance gay *
Whether ’s tentnal or not—and statistilly speakg, sometim is, given that gay people have always existed—homoerotic subtext is sometim the only way for to fd reprentatn, pecially among the classics. It’s perhaps one of the most celebrated wterns and one of the most celebrated buddy pictur—two genr that are, as a generally agreed upon le, pretty homoerotic. But on my rewatch of the film 2019, I me away wh the distct imprsn one pot has been missg om this nversatn: The subtext Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is not so much gay—or perhaps, ’s better to say, not jt gay—but bisexual and polyamoro.
Though there’s still a long way to go, gay and lbian relatnships beg more and more monplace film and TV.
Probably bee there’s an unfortunate tenncy the morn culture of shippg—that is, the act of wishg two characters were a relatnship, often driven by homoerotic subtext—to disregard bisexualy.
