* the originals gay storyline *

(CW)A vampire and a werewolf meet onle… While that may sound far-fetched, ’s basilly what we saw unfold on last night’s episo of The, we’ve got gay vamp Josh (Steven Keger), who has been so by tryg to stay alive and aid Marcel (Charl Michael Davis) buildg a new vampire army, he hasn’t exactly been workg on his social life… until last night’s “Live and Let Die” episo, we opened wh Josh lamentg to pretty Marcel (Charl Michael Davis) about his lack of succs on the datg app on his phone though there is someone he lik…of urse they’re terpted by some werewolf disptn where we meet werewolf Ain (Col Wooll). We talked a lot about how there are huge genre fans the gay muny, probably young kids who watch our show who haven’t seen the media a lot of supernatural characters om the homosexual muny.

Glee took Kurt through the wrger — everythg om an unacceptg parent to makg love wh another man to an unexpected hate crime — and betifully crafted Kurt's evolutn as an openly gay man. Though the show and the work were h wh some backlash for the 2017 storyle of Cys g out as gay to his iends and later datg a boy, broke ground for Disney Channel to feature a story of a stgglg teen who eventually out and be an openly gay character.

Glee showsed every lor of the rabow their six seasons; gay characters, lbian characters, transgenr characters — and wh Brtany S. A s set the late 90s wh half s characters beg gay men wasn't somethg televisn expected only a year after Ellen's ncellatn due to the ma character's g out.

In a 1997 episo of her s Ellen, the show's ontnner shocked the world when both the character and the edian me out as gay. Characters and relatnships om The Vampire Diari, The Origals and Legaci, which are eher lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, pansexual, asexual, etc. So far there have been ne gay characters (Bill Forb, Joshua Rosza, Frank, Lus Parker, Ain, Eddie, The Necromancer, Osr, and Ben), four lbian characters (Nora Hilgard, Mary Louise, Maya and Fch), six bisexual characters (Freya Mikaelson, Keel[1], Tristan Martel[2][3], Penelope Park, Ja, and Jed Tien[4]) and one pansexual character (Josie Saltzman[5]).

It unrstands that s characters are more than jt a funny gay du or a sexy lbian and is absolutely rehg to see.

But when the normally othy show doubled down on a utnary queer bashg storyle at the end of s first season, remd viewers that homophobia was — and still is — potentially adly.

Though Jack soon learned that his on-screen paramour, Ethan, had a boyiend, his subsequent discsn wh his father about his sexualy troduced many viewers to the reali of beg a gay teen.

But then the show explored the ramifitns of that word and exposed Will's ternalized homophobia the procs. As Grace poted out, Will had only volleyed the sult at Jack bee he was embarrassed by Jack's more overt homosexualy — and, th, his own was a progrsive pot to make on an otherwise unntroversial show, and still ronat today. Gay men ntue to pick each other apart, and the prevalence of "masc 4 masc" datg profil suggts gay men still prefer masculy to overt homosexualy.

The stereotype-btg character was arguably the most revolutnary gay character of all time when The Wire buted on HBO 2002 — and he possibly still is.

Brilliant, passnate, tortured, rilient, angry, vlent and sensive, Omar was a breathtakgly plex gay character at a time when televisn badly need . But unlike other TV pictns of male bisexualy, this wasn't a shock tactic or an exce for eye-poppg gay sex. Shamels: Mickey and IanHey, hot-tempered petty crimals n be gay, too!
