Sce the WB work was so hant at portrayg gay relatnships on televisn the '90s, much of Willow and Tara's romance was portrayed through magil metaphors season 4 up until their relatnship stat was nfirmed Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4, episo 19, "New Moon Risg".
The trope "Bury Your Gays" refers to when an LGBTQ+ character is killed off eher to further the story or simply as the end of their narrative, a trend that harkens back s to a time when LGBTQ+ were not allowed to have any sort of happy endg. In Buffy seasons 6 and 7 Andrew was d wh several gay stereotyp (mostly his unspoken csh directed at the villao Warren Mears), and his subtextually hidn sexualy was often played for lghs. Although the actor Tom Lenk's real-life advocy for LGBTQ+ rights and reprentatn (and imprsive performance as Andrew) is still mendable, Andrew's sexualy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was ultimately unveloped and relied too heavily on stereotyp surroundg closeted gay men.
