And what said was: “You’re gay now.

JERRY BCKHEIMER WEIGHS ON TARANTO’S ‘TOP GUN’ GAY FILM MONOLOGUE: ‘A COMPLIMENT’

Now, I have heard the volleyball scene Top Gun referred to as “homoerotic.

” The volleyball scene is not homoerotic.

The volleyball scene is homosexual. Every gay man wh ten years of my age will tell you the same thg. The volleyball scene didn’t make gay.

Sce the inic Tom Cise airplane flick me out 30 years ago, fans have argued the ttosterone-fuelled actner is actually lan wh homoerotic subtext – a g-out movie blockbter clothg. Legendary US film cric Ple Kael wrote her review at the time, “the movie is a shy homoerotic mercial: the pilots stt around the locker room, towels hangg prerly om their waists. “It is a story about a man’s stggle wh his own homosexualy, ” he says the film.

They’re gay, they reprent the gay man, all right? And they’re sayg, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. They’re sayg no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right?

LOOKG BACK AT THE MISTREATMENT OF MARVEL’S FIRST GAY COMIC SUPERHERO

Last year, when Top Gun celebrated s 35th anniversary, Vulture asked producer Jerry Bckheimer about the film’s standg as an inic moment gay cema.

“My attu toward homosexualy has changed, ” he told The Humanist 1991. I have, over many years, changed my attu about gay men and women. Even after his ath, took another 28 years for the first gay character to appear Star Trek’s televisn seri (although y, novel tie-s, ics, fan works, and other non-nonil media featured a markedly improved number of LGBT Starfleet officers).

Given that the first openly gay recurrg character on televisn wouldn’t appear until the edy Soap 1977 (and played by Billy Crystal, so not exactly a nuanced character portrayal), pictg one the ‘60s when Star Trek first aired would have been unthkable to most people. Of urse, much of what Star Trek did to highlight actors and characters of different ethnic backgrounds would have been pretty far-fetched for many televisn dienc of the time, too – so what ma gay stori different at the time?
