‘WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE EVERYTHG GAY?’

Whether the homoerotic subtext is dismissed as yaoi fanfictn or wrten off as “actors’ chemistry, ” on-screen characters have had their sexuali pigeonholed for s.

Wh homosexual characters on the other hand, large swaths of plotle and character velopment are dited to mg their sexual proclivi.

The end rult is a fetishizg of gay relatnships, which screenplays put an undue foc on the sex liv of gay characters, while assumg that all explicly gay characters are all leads me to ask, “Why make straight the first place? The fallout om makg that assumptn when characters stray om that flt, bee then film and TV media fixate on how gay they to name the last movie you saw that foced on a gay character, but didn’t foc on their sexualy or relatnships.

WHY IS EVERYTHG SO GAY?

Why hello, the same time, I’m not tryg to dismiss the queer films we have today – nsirg the stigma gay culture has endured, mt have taken a hell of a lot of urage jt to make anythg. Gay movi are great. Gay shows are a thg now.

It may sound hypocril, vyg for actual gay characters while shamg dienc for rg about their sexual orientatn, but the perceptn that dienc are sred of change is a paralyzg problem wh the film dtry. “Queerbag” is when TV shows imply, suate or heavily allu to the possibily of a same-sex uple to attract gay dienc.

THE REDHEAD LIBERTARIAN ANSWERS THE QUTN: “WHY IS EVERYTHG SO GAY?”

Why do everythg have to be about makg someone gay? Most shows I've seen wh a gay person eher stereotyp them (bad for LGBT) or immediately go promiscuo wh the genr they fd attractive.

At the same time, I really don't re if they're thrown every once and a while if they at least act "normal" (normal as not stereotyped; I don't mean "straight") or if homosexualy is, some way, volved the overall major plot (such as prsn/anxiety om , abe om g out, etc). "How hard life mt be for a homophobe who n't speak out agast gays for "fear of backlash" If only homophobia and bigotry and prejudice were celebrated??

So your fortable wh tellg gays they are utterly repulsive to you and then endg wh "sorry if I offend anyone" Really? Lets thk why might gays, bi, lbians want to see reprentatn TV shows we love- Oh I know- bee WE DO EXIST and were sick to ath of mastream TV/media actg like we don't (ls so the days).

People who are gay are also humans you know, wh the same feelgs, hop and fears that you have and they have had to lerally fight for everythg, at one time jt beg a same sex relatnship got you jail time and a crimal rerd, some untri gay people are still horribly murred, we are only jt gettg equal rights now terms of marriage... In regards to TV shows- I don't thk a prevly straight character should jt be ma gay jt so the producers n tick a box- however gay people should feature shows jt as people of other rac and cultur do- bee they do exist real life and should not be exclud jt se some lite homophobe is "repulsed"... The qutn is how the world we nnot pot that out whout beg classified as "homophobic.
