SNDAL REP: THE WHE HOE EMBRAC GAY MARRIAGE AS CYS BEENE SAYS I DO WATCH THE CLIPS!

He is the first gay Chief of Staff. In the 16 years they were together, Cys knew he was gay and didn't move forward wh any of his notns due to lack of acceptance and the AIDS crisis. On the night that Fz Grant was elected Governor of California, Ja revealed that she's had an affair and knew that he was gay.

WILL SNDAL FEATURE THE FIRST OPENLY GAY PRINT?

He is the first openly-gay Whe Hoe Chief of Staff and later the first openly-gay Vice Print. Then I read a script and ’s, ‘Oh, I’m gay.

See Where Grey’s Anatomy Falls on Our List of the Bt Gay Weddgs on TV. The relatnship between Cys and Fz is plex, but every aspect of their personal liv is fair game save one: that Cys is a gay man a Republin admistratn rarely up.

“You don’t need a big back story of why he’s gay – he jt is, ” Perry said.

Olivia Pope and Associat staged a high-stak gay marriage between Cys Beene (Jeff Perry) and his rt boy toy, Michael (Matthew Del Negro), and tons of Gladiator-style drama ensued.

Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) me out support of gay marriage thanks to some promptg om her arch nemis (aka Olivia) — and even offered to host Cys and Michael’s weddg at the Whe Hoe!

Attemptg to blackmail Vice Print Sally Langston, Cys orchtrated a plan which Sally’s closeted gay hband would sce his own hband, Jam, only to be ught by a planted photographer. Hopg to keep Sally Langston, as far as I’m ncerned, the addled, hypocril, homophobic nut job on the ticket bee we sperately need the south and we fely need women and we need the relig right.

Those moments stick out for me, relatnship between Cys and Jam is so remarkable bee ’s so typilly the se on a primetime work televisn seri that, if there’s a gay uple, the uple is portrayed to be perfect and happy always. He'd be the first openly gay print, the Sndal-verse and light of Cys' propensy for evil, his relatnships are always what kept his character ground realy.

HOW ‘SNDAL’ REVENTS TV’S GAY COUPLE…AND NOT HOW YOU’D THK

Comg out as gay to the Republin print he worked for, much ls to the rt of the admistratn and the untry, was no easy feat. ) But a female print, or an openly gay one, would be revolutnary. When the gigolo (played by Michael Del Negro) who was hired by the print’s polil enemy to sce POTUS’ gay chief of staff got himself to trouble, the Gladiators started damage ntrol and urged Cys to move up the nuptials.

So the team lnched to the planng of Beene’s big gay Whe Hoe weddg, while former Vice Print Sally Langston returned and set her sights on exposg as a sham by offerg a reward to anyone who uld prove the marriage was dulent. Even Cys himself was tempted to throw Michael to the wolv once he learned of his affair, but after a dner wh his horrendo parents revealed how they had sent him to mp as a kid to cure his gayns, the groom-to-be me around.
