‘THE OTHER TWO’: THE MIC VIO FOR ‘MY BROTHER’S GAY’ WAS INSPIRED BY ONE DIRECTN AND CHRISTA AGUILERA

They took spiratn om real mic vios to produce the vio for “My Brother’s Gay and That’s Okay!

‘My Brother’s Gay and That’s Okay! In the fourth episo of The Other Two Season 1, a horrified Cary (Drew Tarver) learns that his younger brother Chase (Case Walker) released a new sgle lled “My Brother’s Gay and That’s Okay! The song, which featur lyrics like “My brother’s gay and here to stay/So haters, you’d better stay out of his way, ” clus Cary’s first and last name.

“THE OTHER TWO” IS ONE OF THE BT SHOWS ABOUT GAY MEN ON TV RIGHT NOW

The mic vio to “My Brother’s Gay and That’s Okay! ” So begs the h sgle “My Brother's Gay” performed by fictnal tween heartthrob Chase Dreams (played by TikTok star Case Walker), whose skyrocketg fame bewilrs his two olr siblgs — newly sgle, self-volved Brooke and the song’s spiratn, stgglg actor Cary — Comedy Central’s new s The Other Two.

MY BROTHER'S GAY AND THAT'S OKAY! (MIC VIO) - THE OTHER TWO

Inially wary of the vio’s effect on his reer (and his relatnship wh his grandma), Cary eventually around to acceptg that s succs mak him a gay in. Or, at the very least, a mp joke: the kd of thg gays love but make fun of (“like Brney, ” he’s told).

A bg satire about the state of fame and celebry 2019, The Other Two is also arguably one of the most astute televisn portrayals of what ’s like to be a gay man livg a big first glance Cary Dubek looks like many other gay male characters who have graced the small screen this past . But while Billy and Elijah prid themselv on their quick-wted sass, arguably a fense mechanism to survive the thlsns of the cy and of their chosen reers, Cary is cidly ’s the kd of fumblg, slightly secure guy who gets his sister to shave his lower back hair before appearg shirtls on TV, and who p for his super-hot straight roommate, and bumbl away any opportuny for ep nnectn wh other gay men around him.

He’s never que nfint enough his looks, his meanor, or his talent, and ’s this behavr that mak him such an unlikely poster boy for Chase’s gay anthem and such a rehg gay character. In the vio for “My Brother’s Gay, ” Chase giv a glimpse to his brother’s childhood and teenage years. As he croons about how beg gay is okay (“and if you thk that’s gross / then I thk you’re wrong”), he’s surround by photographs of Cary at var ag, a visual metaphor of the “It Gets Better” rea.

The song both trivializ Cary’s sexualy and hop to enrage s anti-gay haters an tentnal way. By makg Cary a workg actor, a rather niche slice of life, The Other Two also manag to ment not jt on a very specific type of gay man, but also on the way Hollywood (mis)unrstands LGBTQ reprentatn. ” In Berlant’s hands, Pzi is a lightfully ranged versn of that whe girl at a bar who wants to have a gay bt iend as an accsory.

That she’s willg to play up and play to Cary’s sexualy shows how far Hollywood may have e, but also reveals how such progrs n be uched hilarly limed ias of what gay men n look like. It’s the verse of what we’d seen a few episos earlier, when a stg agent asked Cary to butch up his livery orr to book the fart-smellg gig, and a mere ht of what we see later the season when Cary pantomim gay sex onstage: “Listen, class, ” his actg teacher says, “to w awards, you mt do gay sex scen. But how do we know you’re gay if there’s no shame on your face?

In The Other Two’s world, Chase’s ll for tolerance and cln (however PR-targeted may have been) exists alongsi a slew of anti-gay microaggrsns that chip away at Cary’s own sense of self-worth.

It’s why he later tells Brooke that he thks he’s kd of fucked up for havg accepted a guy’s throwaway ment that he don’t look gay as a pliment.

It’s an admissn that spe — or perhaps even bee of — his privilege, he’s left a number of unhealthy assumptns about what means to be a gay man 2019 unchecked. He shows the lims of ternalizg the “we’re normal, jt like you” mentaly that’s so rampant wh ntemporary gay rights rhetoric.

Such platus n be cripplg when he don’t actually engage or participate the larger gay muny around ’s failed romantic life is perhaps the bt example of how The Other Two is playg wh faiar gay trop to unearth all-too-hilar tths about them.
