Quent's personaly, accent, and tast f the archetypil "proper wealthy Brish gay man, " whereas Jack looks and sounds like a future st member of Love Island.

Sendly, if a rich gay man like Quent were to hire a few younger guys to "enterta" him and his group of iends durg a trip to Sicily, stands to reason that someone like Jack would lie to Portia about Quent beg his uncle, not his "employer. Edor's note: this post ntas major spoilers for the season two fale of HBO's The Whe Lot."The gays, they're tryg to murr me."For many s Hollywood, characters were queer-d as a tool to highlight that they were evil, dangero, mean, and/or villao. Though we n acknowledge - and appreciate - the urse rrectn of not always featurg queer characters who will only lie, cheat, murr, and steal, is equally jarrg to watch so many movi and TV shows now beg clive of queer people who are only portrayed as perfect ltle angels, heart-wrenchg tragic figur, or Mary Sue archetyp.In The Whe Lot season two's Quent (Tom Hollanr) and his gaggle of rich, olr European gays.

They prent as the stereotypil gay bt iends (GBFs) to Tanya that are there to save her vatn, spill some hot tea, and help her turn the beat around. The gays weren't rich eher - they had nothg but an old and yg villa to e as a fa for wealth.No, The Whe Lot isn't the only mastream TV show wh villao gays, but do feel like the seri ma a pot to highlight what dienc have e to expect om the characters only to then reveal much darker sis to them over the urse of the season. Not realizg that the gays were first-class smmers wh plans of their own, not jt sikicks.We do need Fire Island, Bros, Heartstopper, and LGBTQ-led holiday movi om Hallmark as reprentatn.

The endgame of The Whe Lot is a perfect example of how characters n be villao and gay - not villas bee they're gay, but villas who also happen to be gay.When Tanya asked, "Do you know the gays?" to the non-English-speakg yacht pta, there was some poetry there. She didn't know those gays, after all, and neher did the dience. We hope more movi and TV shows give that full breadth of gay reprentatn, om the bt people the world to some of the absolute worst -- jt like our straight unterparts.All episos of The Whe Lot season two are now available on HBO and HBO Max.RELATED | The Are the LGBTQ+ 2023 Goln Globe Nome We're Rootg For.

'Meanwhile, wrer Whe opened up about his cisn to clu such scen the drama seri as he explaed: 'There’s a pleasure to me as a guy who is gay-ish to make gay sex transgrsive aga. 'The Whe Lot' Gay Sex Scene Explaed by Mike Whe - Variety. Stefano Delia/HBO Over to Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), who is now antilly tryg to pe a yacht full of gays who are tryg to murr her.

After she duc that he also may have stolen her phone, she sneaks away wh his to ll reveals that she saw Jack “fuckg his uncle, ” Quent (Tom Hollanr), and Portia tells her what she learned om Jack the night before—that Quent and the gays might be tryg to sm her.

Though “the gays, they’re tryg to murr me” is stantly inic, I thought this one was equally hilar: “There aren’t enough people out there who are worried about old buildgs, ” Tanya shouts, so nervo, while Quent chatters on about how he needs money to pay for his the gays’ aths aren’t big enough. (Photo: Courty HBO/Warner Media)Warng: This story ntas the wake of the shockg, juicy Whe Lot fale on Sunday, social media has been flood wh great mem, mostly featurg the inic Jennifer social media has not been flood wh, however, is outcry about the show’s e of a variety of age-old gay trop — om the evil queen and the sad/psycho lbian to the “bury your gays” trope, aka the offg of gay characters, the end.

Perhaps ’s bee they were prepped by Season 1’s fale, which saw Armond (Murray Bartlett), as the “praved gay, ” also killed off, promptg jt the slightt b of outcry on the Redd thread lled “a cliché trope that needs to die. Over on Twter, “brown queer artist/activist” and filmmaker Leo Herrera ved his bed 35, 000-pl followers to “talk about the e of gay trop” on the seri recently, gettg not much tractn. ”Further, he says, “I don’t want to be the ‘angry brown guy’ … but somethg we need to be aware of is that some of the gay whe show-nners may believe we are past certa stereotyp or trop — which brgs up issu of race and privilege.

THE WHE LOT KNOWS HOW TO SKEWER WHE GAY PRIVILEGE

(Photo: Courty HBO/Warner Media)On Facebook, a few of this wrer’s acquatanc sound off, wh one llg Whe a “lazy wrer, ” addg, “’s gross to portray gay men as predators, addicts, transgrsive and dirty before killg them. It’s typil old textbook Hollywood to kill off the morally rpt gay characters, if you know your cema history … yet BOTH SEASONS of Whe Lot rely on the tired old trope. ”Over on a Whe Lot Redd thread, meanwhile, one viewer wonred, “What gay men f***ed wh Mike Whe for him to always make them tragic, vic, and stereotypil?

” That prompted a few to agree, cludg one who noted, “The thg is gay villas is actually a thg … We still want reprentatn so of urse ’s a double-edged sword and impossible to please the entire dience. First, some background on gay tropGLAAD lls gay trop “harmful and tired, ” and the recent exampl have helped refuel old anger about how LGBTQ characters are so often killed off TV dramas — a tradn actually stemmg om the 1934-1968 Motn Picture Productn Co, aka the Hays Co, a set of self-imposed dtry guil that banned (along wh nudy, ltful kissg and more) onscreen homosexual pictns.
