Where openly gay director Tony Stt filmed sweaty and hard-bodied Tom Cise and Val Kilmer gettg wh kissg distance to smack-talk each-other or to play a round of homoerotic beach volleyball set to Kenny Loggs’ aptly named “Playg wh the Boys”.
HOW DID TOP GUN GET SO GAY?
Was really a “gay” movie? But while we’re on the subject of Tony Stt, let exame how some of the bt films of all time- or some of the most inic- have been directed by gay men.
JERRY BCKHEIMER WEIGHS ON TARANTO’S ‘TOP GUN’ GAY FILM MONOLOGUE: ‘A COMPLIMENT’
Emmerich is a huge LGBTQ+ proponent, and is openly gay.
His beg gay was an open Hollywood secret, and the director very famoly opposed labels, as you n read a betifully touchg obuary piece penned by Matthew Hays of tled “Joel Schumacher: Reluctant and Conflicted Gay Trailblazer”. Had enough overtly gay overton to suck your blood dry.

Perhaps the most famo, and certaly most passnate argument for readg Top Gun as an explicly gay text is Quent Taranto’s monologue Rory Kelly’s 1994 film Sleep Wh Me, an apparently improvised (and entirely Tarantoian) b which Top Gun is fed as “a story about a man’s stggle wh his own homosexualy”:This sort of postmorn readg was particularly hip the ’90s (pecially Taranto’s work—see the multi-character “Like a Virg” analysis Rervoir Dogs), although is certaly heterocentric and, while jokgly so, predited on the notn of gay recment (Kilmer’s Ice Man, the film’s facto antagonist, leadg a crew reprentg gay men who are tellg Cise’s Maverick, “Go, go the gay way”).
On Nexis, the search rults for “‘Top Gun’ and gay, ” suggt that this disurse only grew the years after the film’s release.
