TOKEN GAY OF THE DAY: HARRY ‘MAMMA MIA’
Is based, Harry tablish that he is gay—and the films, he’s also shown to be attracted to men. (Also, those who stick around for the after-creds scene will know that Harry has at least one more admirer this film as well—whether or not he reciprot that affectn.Still, a film that celebrat romance between basilly all of s characters, ’s kd of a bummer to see the anchise’s one openly gay character rema perpetually sgle. However, Bill assum that Harry's sudn realizatn is his homosexualy (given his dancg wh Petros, a lol Greek man), and Harry assum that Bill's disvery is his tert Rosie.
Lookg at Petros lovgly, Harry suggts that he is a gay man, although some fans ntend that Harry is bisexual. In an after-creds scene, the passport guard speaks to Young Harry after he has board the ferry to the island, tellg him that if he is rejected, Young Harry should "take a chance" on him, implyg that the guard, as well as Young Harry, are gay. It is revealed that he is gay at the end of the first Mamma Mia when he is dancg and huggg a man.
There is a fe le between a character’s prevly hidn homosexualy beg a nice twist and beg a punchle. And while this is the kd of mastream film that you might expect to clu gay men s welg bosom (did I mentn Meryl Streep performg ABBA songs? I gather that is much clearer the stage origal that Col Firth’s character Harry is gay.
