on the same show there's a male gay character and he's a walking talking stereotype N IT PISSES ME OFF SO FUCKING MUCH. i like felix in general, he's nice and all but he's so badly portrayed it's all but insulting. like a male can't be normal and gay, no he has to be a gaybestfriend, hey fetch me something gay, and all super flamboyant. this is like my biggest complaint about orphan black. makes me cringe.

Well, it’s true that he’s a stereotype, he is a cliché, but I don’t agree with you on the “badly portrayed”. I know gay men who are the opposite of those clichés, but I also know gay men who are pretty much like that, so why Felix can’t represent that kind of gay men?

Yes, they could’ve chosen to portray him as a “normal” person, without the sassy and explicit gayness, but I don’t know, I’m not complaining about it, he’s pretty awesome ;)

delphine said that she never even thought about her sexuality. she could be bi or even gay & hadn't realized it, because of the expectation that straight is the "normal" sexuality. as for your post, i think that commercial was a good example of how girl-on-girl stuff is more welcome as long as it's for the straight male gaze, since most media's produced & made for them. orphan black is a great exception to that rule 'cause cophine's relationship is taken seriously. those are just my thoughts!

I believe she said she hadn’t consider bisexuality (?), because I find it hard to believe that an adult person hadn’t at least once think about her/his sexuality… But I do believe someone could be bisexual without ~knowing it, I mean, if the circumstances weren’t right that person could’ve denied or suppress (whatever you want to call it¿?) her sexuality. And yes, that commercial is a good example. If it were two guys kissing, people would probably be shocked or alarmed at least, but it’s two girls so it’s ok…

I agree with you on Orphan Black, it is a serious relationship and I hope it continues to be that way.

Thanks for your ask! :)

TV + Homosexuality

So, today I finished watching Orphan Black, and putting aside the fact that it’s a reaaaally good show (quick, y’all go watch it!!!), I wanted to talk (~~I mean write~~) on something more general about… I don’t know, tv shows? Society? (whatever you want to name it) + homosexuality
