Sirko, the gay villa of Season 7: Straight Homosexualy. The seventh season also do somethg actually que rare for genre seri – featur an explicly gay character a proment role.

Moreover, as played by Stevenson, Sirko, while the nventnal gay-killer, also offers an unnventnal versn of this type, there beg nothg stereotypilly gay about his character. Signifintly, even though a bond velops between the gay Sirko and Dexter, there is no homoerotic tensn between them whatsoever.

So, ultimately, even when homosexualy is explicly reprented the seri, is an obscure phenomenon.

SERIAL KILLER WHO PREYED ON GAY MEN, WAS DUBBED 'I-95 KILLER' IS EXECUTED FLORIDA

Sirko, and the seri handlg of the character, exemplifi the new form of “straight homosexualy, ” which reprents a willgns to pict major characters as gay whout typg them as anythg other than heterosexual. The characters are gay name only.

Shadow of a doubt: homoerotic trigue and murro brotherhood.
