WH ‘VERSACE,’ FN WTROCK EXAM PA OF A CLOSETED GAY NAVAL OFFICER AT HEIGHT OF “DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL”

A closeted gay man servg as an officer the US Navy at the height of “Don’t ask, don’t tell, ” who stggled to rencile his patrtism, his sexualy, and the btal treatment of gays the armed forc, Trail ntemplated suici before meetg his maker at the hands of the spree killer, a tragic twist of fate. I thought the way that Tom Rob Smh and Ryan juxtaposed the parallel storyl—for stance, when I’m g out that “Don’t ask, don’t tell” sequence, gog wh the parallel le of seeg Versace make the first public announcement that he was gay—the way that they were able to do that throughout was really fascatg. Watchg the seri, felt like Trail had a kd of PTSD—not om Navy service self, but om the treatment of gay men the ary.

In some ways I do feel like sometim lookg backward [bt spotlights] the most topil issu—like, lookg back on “Don’t ask, don’t tell” and the gay scene the ‘90s, and the reprsn that’s so recent but so seemgly far away. He has played a uple of gay characters throughout his reer, which has ma him immensely popular amongst the LGBTQ muny. Fn Wtrock On Playg Gay CharactersIn an terview wh Out 2014, Wtrock reflected on him playg gay characters and their impact on the LGBTQ muny.

The actor nsirs himself to be very lucky to portray gay culture Hollywood. Wh a , he had reprented an array of gay characters like a gay prostute, a gigolo, a man who has AIDS, and a murrer, among others. Murphy, a gay man himself, has ntributed a lot to the LGBTQ society wh his projects.
