‘LOVE, VICTOR’ TRAILER: SEASON 2 OF HULU’S GAY TEEN SHOW LOOKS AS ADORABLE AS EVER

In this spoff of the 2018 film Love, Simon, Victor Salazar (played by newer Michael Cimo) fds himself wh a cute girliend but a csh on gay classmate Benji (Gee Sear). Is Victor gay? Back the late '90s, you’d be hard prsed to fd anythg remblg gay romance on TV, and yet The WB’s supernatural drama put an unabashed lbian uple right at the heart of the story.

Jog Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar, and I’d be a bad gay not to mentn her performance the mp-tastic Scream 2 here) the Soby Gang is Alyson Hannigan’s Willow Rosenberg. A gay show about wch wh '90s haircuts. We hear the phrase “sexualy is a spectm” all the time (or at least I do New York and on Gay Twter), but filmmaker Diree Akhavan is here to poke around wh that phrase and see jt how unfortable n make people, gay or straight alike.

Thk Fleabag but gayer. R., you should also watch the othy, fizzy The Flight Attendant, where he also plays a gay dad).

Another ncelled-too-soon-but-prerved-on-Hulu classic, this ABC s (thk Friends but the early 2010s) prented viewers wh two very different versns of the gay male. Behd door number one is Derrick, played by EastSir’s Stephen Guaro, the “offensively stereotypil gay” who is brought to be Penny's (the ever-hilar Casey Wilson) replacement GBF. Bee behd door number two we have Max, played by The Mdy Project’s Adam Pally, who while gay, acts much more stereotypilly straight ways, th not fulfillg Penny’s visn.

Especially at the time when gay men were only portrayed as femme on TV, seeg a masc gay man on primetime was somethg empowerg to gay people who hadn’t seen a fuller queer spectm reprented on their on Hulu.

'LOVE, VICTOR': HULU'S GAY TEEN ROM- WAS DUMPED BY DISNEY+: WHY THAT SENDS THE WRONG MSAGE

But after a seri-long nng b that Mac (Rob McElhenney) is gay was turned on s head (Surprise! He was gay all along!

We’d still love to see even more reprentatn (one gay a season don’t really cut the days), but as someone who has watched every season, I was always gog to clu on the on Hulu. In a flashback episo mid-season, however, a big fat gay plot twist (which I won’t disclose due to spoilers) wallops viewers and leav them seeg the show's key relatnships a whole new way.
