‘OUTLANR’S’ LORD JOHN GREY, A GREAT GAY CHARACTER, NEEDS A SPOFF

Upon the release of 'Outlanr' season 4 on DVD, David Berry is revealg why Lord John Grey beg gay is 'the most relatable thg' about him. * outlander gay characters *

Ernment refed to do anythg about the AIDS crisis bee nservative lears believed was righteo punishment for gay men. Claire now works to ee Jamie, but not before Capta Randall has his way wh Jamie—Randall is a homosexual and Jamie is a very attractive young man. It should be noted that Stoker’s novel is full of homosexual overton, but he never allows his vampir to prey on men directly.

Randall willgly engag homosexual activy. Gabaldon’s villa acts like a vampire, and the implitns here are that he is not only homosexual but has also mted ct. Personally, I fd Gabaldon’s e of Gothic them here to be repulsive, primarily bee I feel the novel is homophobic sce sts a gay character the role of villa.

He do not bee he’s gay but bee he’s vlent and enjoys g his posn to ga power over Jamie. But Randall is also clearly tormented about his homosexualy and the romantic feelgs he nnot have returned. I am tempted to say Gabaldon is homophobic her portrayal of Capta Randall.

Why mt the gay man be the villa? And there is another gay man the novel, the De of Sandrgham, who also preys on nocent young boys and even tried to have his way wh Jamie when he was a younger man.

Of urse, Jamie is an attractive man, so all the gay men are gog to want him, but why mt gay men be treated like villas who e their posns to rape other men? It mak one thk women hate gay men bee they steal other men om them, or some such illogil belief.

In real life, I believe, though I uld be wrong, that is rare that a gay man is a bully to a heterosexual man. That said, Gabaldon’s sp off seri is about Lord John, who appears the send novel the seri, and then gets his own seri, and Lord John is a gay man, so perhaps she is tryg to reem herself for her pictn of Capta Randall by pictg gay men posively her later books.
