This is a great example of takg off a mask when you’re queer, and uld easily be ditn that Billy’s gay rather than bisexual, but nothg should be led out.

Although, given that Billy di at the end of Season 3, maybe ’s better that his queerns wasn’t labeled; wrers are all too eager to bury their gays.

But the people who shaped and advised those artists – the on who managed the stars of the classic rock age – were, by an outsized marg, gay terwoven muny clud Brian Epste (who brought the world the Beatl), K Lambert (who -managed the Who), Simon Napier-Bell (the Yardbirds, and a young Marc Bolan), Robert Stigwood (Cream, the Bee Ge), Billy Gaff (Rod Stewart), Ken Pt (David Bowie), Barry Krost (Cat Stevens), as well as Tony Stratton-Smh (who formed the visnary label Charisma for bands like Genis). In fact, was a gay man, Larry Parn, who svengali-d Bra’s very first rockers, om Tommy Steele to Billy Fury to Marty Wil. A new book tled The Velvet Mafia: the Gay Men who Ran the Swgg Sixti aims to tell the Brish si of this story by focg on several key players the scene, cludg a few of the aforementned nam along wh the novative producer Joe Meek and the head of the UK’s most powerful label at the time, Sir Joseph Lockwood.

”At the same time, the rich, powerful and fluential men faced the nsirable nsequenc of beg gay at a time when homosexual acts were still outlawed the UK. ”There were, fact, a few powerful gay women the Brish rock scene at the time as well, cludg Vicki Wickham, who booked the acts on the semal TV show Ready Steady Go and who later managed Dty Sprgfield and LaBelle. ”Bullock’s book don’t lve to the eper cultural and psychologil issu volved the relatnships between the gay and straight men.

WANDAVISN: LGBTQ+ EASTER EGG HTS AT BILLY BEG GAY

“But post-67, and wh the formatn of the Gay Liberatn Front 1970 Bra and wh gay people beg more outspoken, the raids and the psdo-polil attacks started to happen more. If you’re still wonrg about those homoerotic unrton 25 years after Billy Loomis and Stu Macher terrorized Woodsboro W Craven’s “Scream, ” you’ve been on the right track all along. Ahead of the new “Scream, ” out Friday, openly gay screenwrer of the first “Scream, ” Kev Williamson, has nfirmed that Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu (Matthew Lillard), who are thought to be queer by many LGBTQ+ fan theorists, were based on famo mass murrers Nathan Frnthal Leopold Jr.

“It’s very sort of homoerotic, the sense that there were the two guys that killed this other person jt to see if they uld get away wh , ” Williamson said, drawg parallels between the Leopold and Loeb se and Billy and Stu. In one scene, Ray (Shawn Wayans), based on Stu, and Bobby (Jon Abrahams), based on Billy, joke about beg gay, divulgg to a Sidney-like character lled Cdy (Anna Faris) that, “That’s right, Cdy, I’m gay.

Williamson adms that when he wrote the origal “Scream, ” which was released 1996, he was “very hant to prent the gay si of me my work, ” rultg the queerns of characters Billy and Stu beg “a ltle d and maybe accintal. Recently, an terview wh The Inpennt, Williamson nfsed that the “Scream” movi are “d gay survival, ” wh Sidney beg, sentially, a maniftatn of his stggl as a gay person.

WHAT ABOUT GAY BOB?

” Before he wrote Sidney, he related to Jamie Lee Curtis’ Lrie Stro “Halloween” bee, beg gay, “he unrstands the “plight of the Fal Girl. And when we’re watchg that Fal Girl have to prove herself and rise to the challenge and save her life, I thk that’s somethg gay kids anywhere n relate to. Touched by how many LGBTQ+ people have felt spired by Sidney, Campbell said her heroic character “giv people that nfince that they n overe” and that she unrstands why “ mak sense certaly for the queer muny and gay men.

Of urse Mdy is a rult of a shift LGBTQ+ reprentatn — now, to queer- characters would be an embarrassg step backwards — but Williamson also attribut the character to a shift his own growth as a gay man.

That growth, he said, led him to wre the character of Jack McPhee, an openly gay teen who appeared as a “Dawson’s Creek” seri regular startg 1998. But, alas, Howard los his battle agast the beat and danc, at which pot the stctor asslts him wh a barrage of homophobic sults.
