Keefe is ostensibly nverted to Christiany, but after two long seasons of homoerotic teasg and clever blockg, ’s clear by now that he wants nothg more than te timacy wh Kelv. This has led the Church of J Christ of Latter-day Sats, as is formally known, to velop a very strange relatnship to homosexualy, which some Mormon men are vol about their attractn to other men, but rema married to women and do not feel they are sners so long as they don’t act on the “temptatn, ” almost as if their sexual orientatn is a mental illns or substance abe problem. The official term for this the LDS Church is “same-sex attractn, ” clilly abbreviated as “SSA, ” which the church officially separat om “homosexual behavr.

” The Church’s official stance, as listed on s webse, is that “intifyg as gay, lbian, or bisexual or experiencg same-sex attractn is not a s and do not prohib one om participatg the Church, holdg llgs, or attendg the temple.

” The “s” is to act on your feelgs or tly live your inty, as “sexual relatns between people of the same sex” block your “eternal progrs” as a Mormon, which basilly means that you will be shut out of the hight glori of the LDS Church’s history of anti-queer bigotry and activism is fairly obv and open rerd, this belief has allowed the relign to dodge accatns of homophobia by sentially sayg, “We don’t hate gays specifilly, we jt thk they shouldn’t be havg sex at all. ”And if there’s any character televisn history who would claim he’s sufferg om “SSA, ” ’s Kelv Gemstone, a man who seems ntent — for now, at least — to timately habate wh another man whout nsummatg or even labelg the homoerotic unrton are a regular feature of McBri’s shows, which tend to explore plited, often outré male iendships.

The absurdly tense and sexually charged scen of close physil timacy between Kelv and Keefe rell not jt Christ’s close bros washg his feet and tendg to his wound wh otment, but the oozg homoeroticism of Old Hollywood swords-and-sandals epics like Ben-Hur and Spartac. Dpe the relig appeal, both are pretty gay movi: even if you’ve only seen Cluels, you know the famo scene om Spartac, when the enslaved Tony Curtis wash the body of his Roman master played by Lrence Olivier, and Olivier offers him a d sexual proposn the form of a culary metaphor: “My taste clus both oysters and snails.

The jt-released “Rugrats” revival seri has fans a tizzy after nfirmg what many had believed all along — that Phil and Lil’s mom, Betty DeVille, is gay. The “Rugrats” revival clus Betty DeVille as an openly gay character.
