In a time where one had to be extremely reful to hi one's sexualy if didn't abi by the norm, Lord Grey did a stellar job of beg ee wh his sexualy whout makg known that he was gay. He also has a uple unnamed one night stands and often viss Lavenr Hoe, a club that specific to satisfy the needs of homosexual men, who were then forced to hi their sexual orientatn. At the time, eighteenth-century gay characters were maly relegated to foppish portrayals, or they were almost stantly killed off what has been dubbed the “Bury Your Gays” trope.

In any se, ’s about time that we had a historil seri whose ma character is gay, and who isn’t a stereotype that we’ve seen a ln tim over. It’s past time that we had a historil drama featurg a gay character that we n all cheer for. Playg gay man Lord John Grey – a beloved character, reportedly talks for s own sp-off seri – Berry told exactly what was like to have to shoot his sex scene, which aired season 4 last year.
