Some people are simply sayg “yuck” to people wearg the same amount of cloth you’d expect to see at any beach—and “yuck, ” of urse, is exactly how homophob react to gay Cisg the age of nsentStep back, though, and the objectns bee almost reassurg. 7 percent of high-school stunts say they’re gay, bisexual, or not sure of their orientatn. Some may even have been enuraged by seeg a gay-themed T-shirt at Target, or a drag queen a yogurt mercial.
Across two seasons, the show has ma a plethora of pafully te-to-church-life referenc: Jse Gemstone tells his youngt son that a “masturbatn alarm” go off heaven whenever he touch himself, the church support group for married people is full of upl who hate each other, and piful patriarchs are nstantly mimizg the strong women around ’s the tense nnectn between Kelv Gemstone (Adam DeVe), the youngt son of Eli Gemstone, and his voted mullet-wearg ex-Satanist follower Keefe (Tony Cavalero), that nstut the weird, queer-tged heart of The Righteo ’s somethg of an old joke at this pot that J uld have been a gay man; after all, he was a lifelong bachelor and mama’s boy who kept close pany wh an all-male group.
