NEIL GAIMAN ON WRG AMERIN GODS' GAY LOVE STORY

The groundbreakg sequence between two gay Arab men is one of the strongt moments yet on the Starz fantasy seri Amerin Gods (Book) It’s the bold Amerin Gods scene — well, one of them — that has everybody talkg, and for good reason. I thk was the first thg that I’d ever read where I went, you know, there’s an awful lot of this sort of homoeroticism the Arabian Nights. And at that pot, I wanted a genie Amerin Gods…and, I thk ’s gog to be a gay relatnship… and after that jt kd of wrote self.

) Green, elaboratg, explaed how Fuller’s perspective as a gay man fed wh his own as a straight man to create a five approach as “a betiful romantic story between two people who fd each other, ” he said. ” The scene (directed by Guillermo Navarro) marked Kraish’s first-ever onscreen kiss and sex scene; cintally, marked Abtahi’s send, as the actor played another gay character named Salim on Showtime’s 2005 seri Sleeper Cell. Bryan Fuller wrongly said Dekker “me out as gay” durg an Outft speech earlier this week.

“Hero” star Thomas Dekker me out as gay on Instagram on Thursday after beg outed by “Amerin Gods” creator Bryan Fuller. “My sexual orientatn once aga me to qutn this week when a proment gay man ed an awards acceptance speech to ‘out’ me, ” Dekker wrote on Instagram. Fuller served as a wrer on “Hero” and discsed the way a gay character was “het-washed” durg a speech at Outft earlier this week.

“I had a brief stt on ‘Hero’ where the gay character was ‘hetwashed’ after the actor’s management threatened to pull him om the show if he — the character, not the actor — were gay, ” Fuller said. “The character beme straight and the actor me out as gay.

AMERIN GODS BOSS BREAK DOWN THAT INTENSE GAY SEX SCENE (AND ALL THOSE PENIS)

Dekker had prevly discsed the behd-the-scen plitns surroundg his character’s sexualy, but had never publicly e out as gay. ‘I’m gay. My sexual orientatn once aga me to qutn this week when a proment gay man ed an awards acceptance speech to “out” me.

“I’m gay”. If we are to stand strong the gay muny, our missn should be support, not excln; love, not shame.

It REALLY blows that Amerin Gods lost not one, but two leadg characters of lor (one of whom was part of one of the only healthy pictns of a gay Mlim relatnship on TV) the same week. StarzThere is somethg unabashedly and unapologetilly gay about Bryan Fuller’s work.

But perhaps most famoly, Fuller’s tramark style enwrapped NBC’s horror-thriller drama Hannibal, where he turned a notor nnibal and his FBI profiler to a homoerotic pairg that spired a fan-fictn genre lled Hannigram. Remend ReadgThe openly gay wrer and shownner has returned to televisn wh his most amb work to date: an adaptatn of Neil Gaiman’s epic novel Amerin Gods.

One n already hear the plats: Not all gay men love fashn, melodrama, and bchy divas. Yet, as the theorist David Halper quips his 2012 monograph on queer athetics, How to Be Gay, “a culture is not the same thg as a llectn of dividuals.
