Is there really a gay guy in it the movie
The issue with Nick Offerman winning and leaving gay co-star Murray Bartlett in the shadows again
TL;DR: Nick Offerman's fighting talk when accepting an award for their Last Of Us role is commendable, but our beloved Murray Bartlett is left KO'd for a third round. The elongated term impact of this casting has meant a linear cis man has become the defensive voice of a community more than capable of fighting its own corner.
Last weekend, Hollywood royalty Nick Offerman gave a now-viral speech accepting a achieve at the Independent Spirit Awards (Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series for his portrayal of Bill in The Last Of Us episode Long, Long Time), with ano-nonsense response to the homophobia he had received:
"It's not a homosexual story, it's a love story, you asshole".
This unapologetic and frank response is exactly what we expect from an ally. Thanks for your service to the community Nick!
But this now marks the third period that Offerman has won an award in a categor
Is Richie From IT Same-sex attracted In The Book?
IT Chapter Two's twist about Richie Tozier being gay was surprising because not only did it not come about in the book, but it also wasn't hinted at in the first film. Adapted from the classic Stephen King novel of the same entitle , the first IT motion picture was released in 2017 to great acclaim. Directed by Andrés Muschietti, the film starred Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) and Jack Dylan Grazer (Shazam!) as two members of The Losers' Club, who discover themselves tormented by a demonic entity (Bill Skarsgård). Where the book jumped back and forth between the past and offer, the first film opted to merely explore the childhood encounters with the shapeshifting creature. Here's how Richie from IT's sexuality was changed from the books.
Muschietti returned to direct the sequel, which, customary to Pennywise's hold pattern, picked up 27 years after IT Chapter One. Honoring a collective promise, the group returned to the town of Derry when it became clear that children were once again going missing. IT Chapter Two largely followed said adult versions of the characters as they sought to defeat once and for all an even more mean and vengeful Pen

The Epidemic of
Gay LonelinessBy Michael Hobbes

“I used to get so ecstatic when the meth was all gone.”
This is my confidant Jeremy.
“When you hold it,” he says, “you have to keep using it. When it’s gone, it’s like, ‘Oh good, I can go back to my life now.’ I would reside up all weekend and go to these sex parties and then touch like shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.”
Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won’t tell me the exact circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.
Jeremy is not the buddy I was expecting to have this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the gentle of guy who wears a labor shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to do CrossFit. Today, when I ask him how the hospital’s been so far, the first thing he says is that there’s no Wi-F

Stanley Tucci has survived the icy death stare of Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly and told Cher to her face that she looks like a queenly queen. Aside from starring as the queer second-in-command next to those male lover icons in "The Devil Wear Prada" and "Burlesque," the 60-year-old actor also donned a poofy wig in "Little Chaos" as the king's gay brother.
The chameleonic actor is at it yet again with his latest gay role — Tusker in "Supernova," a moving portrait of a couple in crisis written and directed by Harry Macqueen. Here, he portrays a man suffering from early-onset dementia alongside Colin Firth's Sam, his partner of 20 years.
Aboard their old RV, the couple head out on a road trip across the mountainous region of England's Lake District to visit people and places that are special to them, their love tested as Tusker's memory continues to deteriorate.
During a recent call, Tucci talked about being a straight dude who's been playing male lover since 1996, his wife finding out that the internet thinks he's queer , and how he can't believe so many people actually tell him they love "Burlesque."
During the pandemic, I watched "The Daytrippers," which came out in 1996,
