‘HOOK’ ON NETFLIX: SO I MISSED ALL THAT GAY SUBTEXT AS A KID, HUH?
* is hook from once upon a time gay *
I had a lot more fun rewatchg Hook as a gay adult than I did watchg as a child—bee the movie is pretty darn gay! How gay? Doubtfire and The Birdge and Hook feels every b as gay as those other films.
I watch this movie now, and I’m angry at my child self for nyg me s of joy rived om watchg Dt Hoffman and Bob Hosks play Capta Hook and Smee as a more menacg, equally gay Bert and Ernie. Yeah, I was a 7-year-old boy that absolutely hated a ms (which, e to thk of , is pretty gay) and all of the ooey gooey food fightg and splatter-happy warfare that punctuat the Neverland portn of the film got a hard “pass” om me.
” It’s not my favore terpretatn of Peter Pan, but might jt be my favore of what I will now dub Rob Williams’ Gay ’90s Trilogy.
‘ONCE UPON A TIME’ REVEALS GAY STORYLE; CREATORS SAY “LOVE IS LOVE”
Executive producer Edward Ksis tells EW about the new gay character g season 7 * is hook from once upon a time gay *
This is a list of LGBTQ+ (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer) characters on ABC's Once Upon a Time. Once Upon a Time fally ma good on s promise to clu a gay storyle season five, and was an unexpected choice. This aligns wh what the duo told The Hollywood Reporter about the gay storyle earlier this season.
The gay storyle as a b of a surprise given the show’s e of well-known and beloved characters om the Disney vlt, and follows a month that has been adly for lbians on the small screen as the “Bury Your Gays” trope took center stage after shows like The 100 and The Walkg Dead, among others, killed off lbian characters. Wh the gay storyle that you’re workg on, was there any difficulty gettg Disney to e on board for , and did you know which characters would volve? Wt) alongsi Rega (Lana Parrilla), Hook (Col O’Donoghue), and Rumple (Robert Carlyle) — executive producers Adam Horowz and Edward Ksis are g the opportuny to troduce a gay character who will have a more substantial role.
I don’t thk ’s an arc, ’ll be a character who is gay and that’s who they are and they exist the world. "The 18th episo of Once Upon a Time's fifth season, tled "Ruby Slippers, " featured the fairy tale drama’s first gay romance when an adult Red Ridg Hood (Ruby, played by Meghan Ory) fell love wh The Wizard of Oz's Dorothy (Teri Reev). "Fun, related fact: "Friend of Dorothy" is a term that was ed as early as the 1930s and '40s to scribe gay men and, later on, homosexualy self ed to be illegal, gay folks need to refer to each other secret.
