NETFLIX’S VOLTRON: LEGENDARY DEFENR NFIRMS ONE OF S SUPERHERO IS GAY

RELATED: Voltron Shownner Apologiz for Seri' Handlg of Gay Relatnship. The show ends wh them kissg at their weddg, a moment that off as a fairly weak attempt to pacify fans who lashed out at the "Bury Your Gays" trope Adam's mise embodied. Most people didn't know Shiro was gay the first place, rultg a revelatn that off feelg shed, as though the Voltron wrers never really valued LGBT reprentatn the first place.

VOLTRON SHOWNNER APOLOGIZ FOR SEASON 7'S TREATMENT OF GAY COUPLE

Bury Your Gays: The Death of Adam.

The “Bury Your Gays” trope is the ia that LGBT+ characters are sentially not allowed to have happy endgs and are stead often killed off a way that ensur the relatnship or the queerns of the character or their partner is mimized or even removed om the story. Here’s the problem though: Adam’s ath didn’t add anythg, and a larger ntext may have even unrmed the theme a way that plays to the Bury Your Gays trope.

Furthermore, the fact that Adam’s ath was sentially the only ath among dividuals close to our ma st also unrm the theme and ntribut to the feelg of “Buryg Your Gays.

When the theme of “loss” is so tied to the experienc of the one and only explicly stated gay character, admonishment of “hey, that’s war” rgs hollow,. In other words, off more like JK Rowlg’s “Dumbledore is Gay” pronouncement, though at least me before the show end.
