It would have been very easy for the character of T Andromedon to serve as a ntuatn of the tired and offensive "gay bt iend" trope, where his character would only exist to support Kimmy's needs.
Burgs, who is openly gay and has found fame playg the gay character of aspirg performer T Andromedon on his Netflix seri, said he was eply honored by the award, spe the fact he is jt dog what naturally. Andromedon's unapologetilly flamboyant characterizatn perpetuat gay stereotyp, but Burgs thks differently. He's over gay men--y, gay men--shamg T' lorful personaly.
To him, an ternalized homophobia gay men have toward effemacy--Grdr talk: "No fats, no fems"--keeps them om embracg his Kimmy Schmidt alter-ego (and people jt like him). (As a fem-leang gay men, I certaly did.
GAY INOGRAPHY: ‘UNBREAKABLE’ TS BURGS
What do you thk mak T different than some of the gay characters we’ve seen on televisn? It’s jt an examatn of another human beg who happens to be gay vers the "gay bt iend stereotype.
Have you e across cricism wh the gay muny about T’ characterizatn? Is ternalized homophobia toward effemacy at play?
There are some gay people who don’t act like T and who more closely remble that of a heterosexual, more mascule male, but that do not a better gay make. It’s jt a different breed of a gay season two, we will meet that person that they are sistent that they don’t see TV.
