SLANG FOR GAY FISHG

A quick primer, for those of you who, like me, are over a certa age and may be more faiar wh the term “gay bag”: This is one of those squirmy evolvg-language thgs which, faster than you might ever image, a phrase to mean almost exactly the oppose of what once meant.

As recently as 10 years ago, gay bag referred to the practice, pecially polics, of sneergly suatg that someone was gay via d language orr to harm them while matag plsible niabily by never sayg directly. That journey began wh visibily; gave way to vilifitn and mockery; then, after s of stggle, to a few refully crafted gay characters ma largely for straight dienc; then to a larger and more diverse range of characters, some created whout the need to attract those straight dienc. Characters and out artists, tokenism is still an accepted norm — a gay kiss a Marvel movie or a rtoon, 12 sends (lerally) taken to show that Sulu is gay a Star Trek n feel like teasg — and that, too, remas a norm.

In pre-ter tim, magaz like Out (and, 20 years earlier, After Dark) would fuel the wishful thkg of gay men starved for gay stars by throwg a mix of fely gay, probably gay, straight-but-gay-iendly, so-hot-we-wish-they-were-gay and ’s-anybody’s-gus celebri onto their vers. The first queer baer of our current era was probably Jam Fran, who played the gay activist Harvey Milk’s lover 2008 and the gay poet Hart Crane 2011, then put his own gloss on the 1980 film “Cisg” 2013 before fally revealg himself as “gay my art and straight my life” an terview wh … himself 2015, by which time the game playg had started to feel to some like a bad-fah photos: Steve Marc/Rters, John Parra/Getty Imag and Denise Tscello/Getty Imag.

Consir, for stance, his appearance a viral 2019 “Saturday Night Live” sk -scripted by the gay wrer-performers Jul Torr, 36, and Bowen Yang, 32, which he played a social media brand manager for Sara Lee who kept postg his thirsty thoughts about gay threom on the rporate acunt. And what about his role last year’s perd drama “My Policeman” as a gay Brish p the 1950s prevented om livg his tth by a stultifyg and bigoted world?

I should, at this pot, out myself: I believe that personal experience is overrated as a qualifitn for an artist; I thk that, onscreen, straight n effectively play gay and vice versa; and I reil om any fn of the relatnship between artist and dience that is predited on the dience claimg a sense of betrayal over who someone is or isn’t outsi of the ntext which they’re performg. Retouchg: Anonymo RetouchBut fairns to the many who are troubled by this, we are still, historilly speakg, the fancy of an age which gay artists are able to do their work whout lyg or hidg. The ia that homosexualy n be teased flourish and gtur rells a much more reprsive era (five s ago) which gay performers like Pl Lyn and Charl Nelson Reilly uldn’t do more than ocsnally throw a plsibly niable smirk to their “if you know, you know” gay fan base if they wanted to rema employable.

Until very recently, most gay performers uldn’t even afford that wk, and nobody should kid themselv that closeted gay actors are a relic of the past; the biggt difference is that, today, some of them perm themselv to play gay rol (about which they then give stoic, tached terviews). In that ntext, performers who thk gay is a fun flavor n now e off as emblems of straight entlement, dulgg themselv a luxury rerved for those wh nothg real at stake and an optn to out themselv as straight (but an ally, always an ally!
