BUT JT HOW GAY IS ‘THE LIGHTHOE'(2019)?
History, rmatn, pictur, lotn, and GPS ordat of the Gay Head Lighthoe Massachetts. * the lighthouse gay *
Take, for stance, Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook, which the tular boogeyman n be read as an allegory for a mother’s grief and trma, or A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, which not so subtly hts at the protagonist beg gay. While the dynamic between the film’s two lighthoe keepers seems to be more hate-hate than love-hate, Eggers’ psychelic imagery, the psdo-domtic edy between the two lighthoe keepers, and the homoerotic overton monstrate how The Lighthoe is actually a queer romance.
But their fal nontatn, this vlence tak on overtly homoerotic ton. To me, this film is so clearly gay that an analysis of s homoerotic subtext would be like argug the sky is blue. Perhaps I’ve e acctomed to clarg everythg gay, but this one seemed too obv to miss.
And so, let’s talk about how gay The Lighthoe really is.
WHY THE GAY SUBPLOTS ‘THE LIGHTHOE’ AND ‘JOJO RABB’ DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH
The Gay Head Light holds the notable honor of beg the first lighthoe nstcted on Martha’s Veyard. In 1796, Senator Peleg Coff suggted the nstctn of the lighthoe. * the lighthouse gay *
Now lookg at the characters, n be pretty heavily suggted that Tommy is gay and, given the tim, closeted.
GAY HEAD LIGHTHOE
* the lighthouse gay *
Durg the long, lonely nights, Tommy attempts to distract his gay sir and fds solace a mermaid statue, g this salt water temptrs as spiratn for his “alone time”.
Tommy is ultimately aghast by this homoerotic shift, but the dience is not. However, this terpretatn don’t hr the homoerotic subtext, if anythg they work harmony. The Lighthoe is overflowg wh gay subtext, om the tenr dancg scene shared between Tom and Tommy, to the il arguments between them that play out like a dnk hband and upset hoewife (“Yer fond of me lobster, a’t ye?
GAY HEAD LIGHT
Gay Head Lighthoe was the first lighthoe built on Martha's Veyard and one of the first the U.S. to receive a first orr Frnel lens 1856. The lighthoe is immediate danger of topplg over the edge of the Gay Head Cliffs, a nsequence of a century of erosn and the direct impact of climate change. * the lighthouse gay *
Ignorg the gay subtext this film lims the pure brilliance of The Lighthoe. Historilly, the genre of horror is a bounty of gay subtext and this film livers wav! Both have ndidly discsed sual, heterosexual terurse already, but nothg so explicly homoerotic.
