21 "EUPHORIA" MOMENTS THAT THE GAYS ARE STILL THKG ABOUT

"i mean, makg a mil about Nate beg gay, that's ed very homophobic my opn, bee Lexi is makg fun of how Nate is probably gay and he won't exprs or adm , Nate beg a terrible human beg don't give Lexi the right to be homophobic. Ethan Channels Nate JabsEthan's (At Abrams) portrayal of Nate Lexi's play is gettg a whole lot of love his homoerotic scene, Ethan looked unregnizable as he thst himself around the stage, danced up agast other men, and lip-synced along to Bonnie Tyler's "Holdg Out For A Hero. so at first i thought the show was tryg to ht that lexi was gay (which i still thk she is romantic wise) but after a few rewatch i thk she might be asexual?

MD THE MEDIA: EUPHORIA'S DEPICTN OF A HIDN GAY INTY, AND S CONSEQUENC

Would be really ol to have an asexual character a show (and hopefully a gay romantic one ?) sce there are almost no rep for asexual people televisn, and i n see phoria dog somethg like that really well.

Lastly, she portrayed Nate and the football locker room as accurately as she uld wh a homoerotic, and ankly rivetg, rendn of a very popular Bonnie Tyler song. While Euphoria's first season tablished Cal as an outwardly succsful man wh a secret life, the send season spent two episos lvg to Cal's backstory and then the breakdown he experienc, which clud a spectacular tellg off of his fay, when he n no longer nceal his inty as a gay man any longer. As an adult, he's married, had two sons, and done well bs, yet he's hnted by the possibily that someone uld disver that he's gay.

The scene where Lexi heavily implied that Nate was gay -- drawg parallels between the way men talk to each other about workg out and and men who are attracted to other men -- was also very morally qutnable. It was a much-need ep dive to a character whose entire personaly th far has basilly been prented as a “pick me” girl plex bed wh a burgeong csh on everybody’s favore dg aler, one scene particular was fairly jarrg to me, namely the gay locker room dance starrg Ethan as the Nate Jabs stand- character the play. We see Ethan lip-syncg for his life to gay anthem “Holdg Out For a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler, surround by boys clad sktight gold pants.

IS JAB ELORDI’S NATE JABS GAY EUPHORIA?

And then the homoerotic subtext of the gyratg jt flat out be pla ole (simulated) gay sex, much to the light of the dience. It was over-the-top, playg off the well-worn trope of the closeted jock, but after Euphoria’s mishandlg of the Cal Jabs storyle, what uld have been an attempt at morally plex satire actually felt a ltle when Nate himself said after the play, “That sh was so fuck’ homophobic, ” I sadly had to agree wh the Very Tall Boy.

The le has sce spurred plenty of good TikToks clowng on Nate’s sudn turn to “allyship, ” but the unfortunate thg is that he kd of spilled on Euphoria self wh that one, albe totally all that the show seems to believe that is genuely transgrsive, ntu to fall back to age-old homophobic trop aga and aga.

As TikToker @patsycheck poted out, at this pot, the “tall, angry, homophobic jock teenage boy” who “asslts everyone around them jt bee they’re closeted themselv” is a tired stereotype and of self at this pot — and to repeat this character arc not jt wh Nate, but wh his dad, too, feels jt as tired as is be clear, g trop don’t mean a show n’t be good. )Maybe if the show had more nuance headg to the school play episo, the cisn to have Lexi clu the gay locker room dance her play would have e across differently, like the plaly homophobic antics of a high schooler reachg for every tool at her disposal to take Nate Jabs down a if Euphoria n’t even get a handle on s own homophobia, any attempts to satirize were bound to fall totally flat. In sence, the show self has kd of been dog macro exactly what the gay locker room scene did micro, which mak hard to expect the viewer to make sense of that moment Lexi’s play.
