And if a gay character n be a bad-ass killer a Jason Statham movie, that jt means they’re lettg si the is no effete shrkg vlet; he’s played by a former pro football player, and he’s a character who is rpected and even feared by the film’s very pable and very adly hero. So before GLAAD or any of the other profsnally offend rners of the muny get their knickers a twist, they should take a step back and see how this actually reprents progrs for queer, we’re still wag an Osr to go to someone who plays a gay character who don’t die, and y, we haven’t gotten to the place where out-of-the-closet actors and actrs n have their pick of rol. But when I n go see a movie like The Mechanic and see a gay character who’s on a level playg field wh everyone else the movie – and when ’s clear we’re meant to be rootg for the hero not to die stead of hopg that he’ll “kill the faggot” – feels like another battle has been won.
