MTV is puttg s money behd the new realy show The Real Friends of WeHo, hopg scratch the ch fans have had wantg a gay equivalent of the popular Bravo anchise The Real show follows a group of six gay iends Wt Hollywood and is scribed as an "unfiltered and hont look at a select group of iends livg, lovg, and pursug their passns the Wt Hollywood muny.

A NEW GAY REALY SHOW – “THE REAL FRIENDS OF WE HO”

20, “The Real Friends of WeHo” is billed as “an unfiltered and hont look” at six gay iends who are “livg, lovg and pursug their passns” Wt Hollywood, where many members of Los Angel’ LGBTQ muny seri’ st members clu celebry stylist Brad Gorki, actor Curtis Haton, sger and dancer Todrick Hall, Buttah Skre CEO Dorión Rend, TV host and bs owner Jaym Vghan and digal entreprenr Joey Zzig. “Origally I was like ‘what gay guy wants to watch this’ and then remembered this sort of thg is for straight women and Real Hoewiv is for gay guys, ” one person quipped.

Jenna Lyons is the first out gay hoewife to star on RHONY. Jenna Lyons is set to star the newly rebooted The Real Hoewiv of New York Cy (RHONY) – but who is the gay bs tyon and star of season 14?

A GAY VERSN OF 'REAL HOEWIV' IS ON THE WAY, AND TWTER HAS THOUGHTS

Slottg alongsi mols, entreprenrs, real tate agents and publicists for the 14th season of RHONY is the “woman who drs Ameri” – Jenna Lyons, the first out gay New York hoewife.

When did Jenna Lyons e out as gay? Lyons lled beg the first out gay hoewife on RHONY as “a moment” when speakg to Jimmy Fallon. Although Lyons is the first out gay hoewife on RHONY, she’s not the first queer Real Hoewife to appear on screen.

The seri, filmed the tular Los Angel gay enclave, wore s Bravo fluenc on s sleev.

”The prospect of “a gay Real Hoewiv” shouldn’t have been immediately offensive. Both seri followed the so-lled gay movers and shakers of their rpective ci, gleefully playg to the bchy blueprt popularized by Hoewiv. Seven years later, the work returned wh Fire Island, a msy one-season wonr that followed six gays sharg an oceanont summer hoe the tular gay oasis, promptg a memorable SNL parody that imaged a lbian versn of the same Real Friends of WeHo uld have easily followed those footsteps, beg if not an obssn, then at least a stupid, guilty pleasure.

HEATHER GAY ADMS 'HUIATG' TTH ABOUT 'RHOSLC ' BLACK EYE AS BRAVO CONFIRMS INVTIGATN

In the years sce The A-List, the Real Hoewiv anchise has only grown populary, particularly among gay men. As Gorki says the first sends of the premiere, “You put six gay guys together wh meras around them, there’s gog to be lghter, there’s gog to be tears, and there’s gog to be sha.

MTV touted the new Fridays as a “statn night” for the gays. After all, what mak for better upled viewg than a back-to-back of bchy drag queens and bchy gay men? On the day of the premiere, vios of gay bar crowds boog as the show me on started to go viral.

Rather than settlg to a natural groove, allowg the meras to simply observe as the gay men went back and forth wh each other, Real Friends felt hellbent on announcg s own importance. Much like the ill-nceived marketg mpaign for last year’s gay bomb- Bros, Real Friends viewed s centerg of gay men as signifint and of self. It was as if the producers asked the qutn, “If a gay realy show don’t remd dienc that is one every few scen, is really a gay realy show?
