‘BLACK SAILS’ STAR TOBY STEPHENS TALKS FLT’S GAY ROMANCE: ‘HE BEME HIMSELF’ (VIO)
Why did they make Capta Flt gay? We wrote about Black Sails' Big Gay Reveal yterday and, as you might have noticed, the ments sectn for that post have gotten que heated. Other fans of the show are apoplectic -- shoutg their disgt and accg Starz and the show's producers of vg to the gay muny and phg a so-lled gay, there never seemed to be an issue wh Black Sails' p graphic vlence, heterosexual sex scen -- and even sexy lbian characters jumpg the sack together.
What would you say to people who ask why Flt isn't checkg out a gay bar Nass? This one moment where he giv to not jt a sexual relatnship – I’m not sure that we thk ’s his first homosexual sexual relatnship – but a romantic one, a real one and one wh someone wh whom he has social nnectns. As part of the betrayal, Ashe ttified to the homosexual relatnship takg place between Thomas and McGraw.
Opn - Gay agenda the only flaw this amazg seri. Season 2 jt had me feelg like Hollywood wasn't even botherg to hi their gay agenda this one.
