Much of the ntemporary LGBTQ+ lerature we are exposed to today mak beg gay the only thg the book is about.
Gay people didn’t jt happen to show up the past 100 years. It serv as a great example of LGBTQ+ reprentatn that approach and treats gay romance the same way straight romance would be wrten about.

WAS ACHILL GAY? WHAT WE KNOW FROM CLASSIL LERATURE
That The Old Guard’s Joe and Nicky are unapologetic about their love allows queer people, and gay men particular, the opportuny to see that throughout all of history, we’ve been there all along — and such a mastream, typilly heteronormative medium, no ls.

Beyond that not-great movie, Achill and Patrocl’s homosexualy has been bated over and over, ually g down to dissectg ancient Greek culture and the semantics of “gay”. “I did not liberately set out to tell a liberately ‘gay’ love story; rather, I was eply moved by the love between the two characters—whose rpect and affectn for each other, spe the horrors around them, mol the kd of relatnship we all n aspire to. Though Miller says she didn’t liberately set out to create a gay love story, ’s a fantasy that unravels and jtifi the feelgs and vulnerabily of the LGBTQ experience, and of gay men particular.

Whilst Miller has received praise for her cln of an openly gay relatnship, her approach to their sexual enunters has been cricised. As a member of the muny myself, I wele healthy and accurate reprentatn, and I acknowledge that my ment on gay male relatnships is limed due to my genr, but om what I’ve seen personally on social media, the majory of fans who are obssed wh gay male relatnships are straight women. And therefore, I ask: why are straight women so obssed wh gay relatnships?
