YANIC TDALE MARRIED, WIFE, PARTNER, GAY, INTERVIEW, NET WORTH

Although nearly every character’s sexualy was addrsed at some pot throughout her six seasons as the mastermd of The CW seri, Michel’s (Yanic Tdale) — Lorelai Gilmore’s (Lren Graham) right hand man at the Dragonfly Inn — largely remaed a mystery, though a majory of viewers have e to assume that he is gay. But wh the first episo of the four-part revival, Sherman-Pallado addrs the longstandg query about the Frenchman a nversatn between Michel and Lorelai at the Inn: he is gay and is planng to adopt a son wh his hband, Freric. Early on the first film, Wter, ’s revealed that Yanic Tdale’s French n manager Michel Gerard (long spected by fans of beg gay) is married to a man lled Frerick, and rag agast the prospect of havg children.

”Still, whether Michel is nonilly gay, bi or somethg else, ’s great to fally see some queer reprentatn on the seri – and don’t stop there. In the next film, Sprg, a Stars Hollow meetg se town selectman Taylor Doose (Michael Wters) bemoang the lack of gay people the town available to jo a planned Pri para, a slightly meta mentary on the show’s former lack of reprentatn.

“There jt aren’t enough gays Stars Hollow! ”Many fans would probably agree, though the brief cln of new gay character Donald (Sam Panke) and a suggtn the same scene that eher town mechanic Gypsy (Rose Abdoo) or Taylor himself might be gay may go some way to alleviatg a few of the like thisStill, perhaps the fal word should go to actor Yanic Tdale himself, who has spent years fieldg qutns about Michel’s sexualy and has e to a pretty firm ncln. Netflix's hotly anticipated revival of Gilmore Girls answered one of fans' most burng unanswered qutns: Is Michel Gerard gay or is he jt French?

AVIS DéCèS GAY

"Dpe all evince to the ntrary, was clear that Gilmore Girls at least wanted viewers to read Michel as gay. He's already a proud, happily married gay man. Gilmore Girls, which didn't have a sgle out character, was marred by an unfortunate tenncy to make equent jok at the expense of gay, lbian, and transgenr people.

At a town meetg, selectman Taylor Doose (Michael Wters) announc that Stars Hollow will be holdg s first-ever gay pri para.

STEVEN GERRARD REVEALS, HE IS GAY !!!!!

"Acrdg to Sherman-Pallado, the show had characters throughout s n that the wrers and producers "thought of as gay. " He wasn't aware Michel was gay until he read the script for A Year the show's LGBT failgs weren't jt about queer visibily.

Throughout the show, the word "gay" is terchangeable wh "weird" or "unol. " When Kirk (Sean Gunn) wears a purse to Le's Der, the rtrant's swarthy namake (Stt Patterson) asks, "What's wh the gay bag? " Jason Stil (Chris Eigeman), Lorelai's season four love tert, refers to waltzg as "embarrassg and a ltle gay.

" Lane's (Keiko Agena) bandmate and hband, Zach (Todd Lowe), refers to a hymn penned by Mart Luther as beg "totally gay. Neville, a character also unseen, is gay.

JERROD CARMICHAEL OUT AS GAY HIS NEW EDY SPECIAL

"At least we get to wear skirts whout beg Sttish or ridg a float the gay pri para, " she retorts. "A Year the Life is rehgly ee of jok that e gay people as punchl, but trans folks don't get off so easy.

Dpe mored as a gay, actually he is amg personaly stands wh the height of 6 feet. There is, however, one glarg and betiful exceptn: Michel Gerard, the snotty and (of urse) French ncierge played by Yanic Tdale, who is fally revealed to be gay and adoptg a child wh his hband the Netflix reboot.

Bee many Gilmore Girls fans had spected the past that Michel was wrten as a gay man, seeg nfirmed the reboot might not be seen as a big al. But my feelgs about Michel are different, bee to me he reprents far more than jt a sarstic sikick for a gay woman who recently beme a mother to a betiful child, seeg Michel Gerard openly married to a man and ntemplatg fatherhood mak my ltle queer heart happy. When I was a teenager (which, cintally, is also when Rory Gilmore was a teenager), people still thought shows like Will & Grace were edgy, even though retrospect, many Will & Grace episos feature remarkably rctive pictns of gay you did see gay people on TV the early ghts, the characters were often relegated to sikick rol, like Stanford Blatch on Sex and the Cy.

They were effemate men whose mannerisms were played for lghs — or, worst of all, they embodied gay stereotyp, but they were never out. Even Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Pallado has talked openly about how difficult was to nvce work TV executiv to feature gay characters: although she origally tend Sookie to be gay, when Gilmore Girls lnched 2000 work executiv wouldn't a gay woman who recently beme a mother to a betiful child, seeg Michel Gerard openly married to a man and ntemplatg fatherhood mak my ltle queer heart happy. As a young queer person, the lack of gay characters wh spo or children strongly ronated wh me; I felt that my sire to be wh women was direct ntradictn to my sire to have a fay one day.

In my imagatn, when Michel told his iends and fay that he was gay, they were relieved and happy for him.
