GLAAD LLS FOR GAY CHARACTERS STAR WARS: EPISO VIII
The ia of the Star Wars universe acquirg s first queer character has blown up throughout gay Isaac even seemed to ht at the romance on Ellen:"I thk 's a very subtle romance that's happeng. "Wh fan fictn and theori of the blossomg romance takg hold of the Inter, we have our own are 10 thgs about Poe Dameron that ma our gaydar go off:1. Disney should clu gay characters the forthg Star Wars film, Episo VIII to help improve s “failg” rerd on LGBT reprentatn, US gay rights group Glaad (Gay and Lbian Alliance Agast Defamatn) has claimed.
The ll was ma after the anisatn’s latt annual “stud rponsibily x” found that none of Walt Disney Studs’ 11 films released 2015 featured gay characters. Recent official novels the anchise featured lbian and gay characters that uld also be easily wrten to the stori. ”Glaad’s suggtn follows the current Twter mpaign for Disney to nfirm that Frozen’s Prcs Elsa is gay the forthg sequel to the hight grossg animated film of all time.
Boyega himself hted he was more than open to the ia of shiftg the Fn-Dameron relatnship to the gay si an terview at the Bafta awards ’s ll on Disney me as the annual stud rponsibily x pated a prsg picture of Hollywood’s rerd on LGBT clivy. Of the 126 major stud releas last year, only 22 featured gay characters, amountg to 17. Like Disney, Paramount released no films 2015 featurg gay characters, while Warner Bros managed five out of 25 released movi, acrdg to the studs, cludg Fox, Lnsgate, Sony and Universal, were all rated “aquate” by Glaad.

“Hollywood films lag far behd other media when toportrayg LGBT characters, cementg the dtry’s reputatn as outdatedpared to the groundbreakg cln seen on streamg seri likeSense8, Orange Is the New Black, and Transparent, ” said Glaad print and CEO Sarah Kate survey sgled out two Kev Hart films, Get Hard and The Weddg Rger, for playg on “gay panic” stereotyp. “When I talk about clivy ’s not excludg gay characters, ” Abrams told The Daily Beast Febary 2016. So seems sanely narrow-md and untertuive to say that there wouldn’t be a homosexual character that world.
But a) at this pot, we didn’t know anythg about how Fn and Poe would teract the movie, so there was no big homoerotic subtext-y -joke to wk and nudge elbows at, and b) Osr Isaac really don’t seem like the kd of guy who would play up a no-homo bromance for lghs. I’m not actually stg here tryg to nvce you that Poe Dameron is gay. Handsome, darg, feisty, vicly petent, sweet, elegant… and gay, some part of my own queer subnsc immediately whispered to me.
I’m pretty sure he’s meant to be gay. My love triangle theory, if Poe is ed gay, is that he’s attracted to Fn but won’t end up wh him – through this plot, we’d learn that he’s queer, and will eher be heartbreakg or a “more (male) fish the sea, still love ya, buddy” suatn.
