So Mercut is gay bee he don’t like Rosale and says Romeo would be better off wh an Open arse that looks like the u of a Medlar Tree… Is that ?

In fact wasn’t until they 1800’s that beg Gay was specifilly ma illegal and punishable, even si your own 4 walls. So, tim and attus to beg gay weren’t actually that bad at the time. ” Johae explas that past scholars such as Phillipa Hawker have claimed that there is evince of a homoerotic relatnship between Romeo and Mercut Luhrmann’s film, and “So upbeat is Mercut’s mercurial cross-drsg and mp behavr at the Capulet party that appears as a sign of his transgenr inty” (304).

Gog beyond the “rnival” theory, to tomatilly assume that bee Mercut wears a drs that he wants to be a woman would be rrect- there is a whole muny of gay men, the “drag” muny, who drs up and perform as women but have no sire for genr reassignment surgery. On the assumptn that Mercut is gay, the suatn of a homoerotic relatnship between he and Romeo seems plsible, as Mercut appears to be jealo when Romeo do not pay attentn to him, always sarstilly brgg up Rosale, the girl he thks Romeo is still enamored wh. Sce the oppose of love is not hate but difference, Mercut’s sensive and fensive reactn to the accatn of homosexualy may dite that he is gay.

None seem to display any homophobia towards Mercut, which may dite that Mercut is not queer any way, shape, or form, or that Luhrmann’s Verona Beach universe, is “okay” to be queer, or both.
