Pathetic.



Debated on LBC Live Radio now

I want Tom Holland to be portrayed as gay

Good for Tom <3

Though it should be something that just is, there shouldn't be a sappy storyline about it, just have it so he happens to have a bf/be interested in a dude.

That would be great actually

We don’t want an emotional coming out though, just have him dance with a guy at a graduation party or something

What’s pathetic is being that bothered by someone’s sexuality

It's a superhero movie, any and all romance plots will be sappy.

Here for ginger Derek J Watson.

Let's start getting gay actors in though shall we?

Only if they're the best fit for the role - if actors had the match their roles' sexualities, Broadway would close down!

Tom Holland used to do ballet, so he's probably gay.

I don’t believe gays should be shoehorned into roles just cause they’re gay, if they’re the best person for the role and happen to be gay then fine

Its a Money Thing
nothing to do with being Gay

I don’t think Tom Holland personally requesting to include LGBT characters in lead roles is anything to do with him wanting a bigger pay cheque

Arista, just stop.

No its the Film Company.
Not Him.

Tell me where in that article it says Disney want Spider-Man to be gay.

I actually wouldn't want Peter Parker to be gay tbh, it's not who he is and it would feel a bit shoehorned at this point. I've never liked it when a character is retconned to be a different sexuality, I'd much rather they use a character that's always been that sexuality and give them equal representation instead.

Northstar, Wiccan, Hulkling. These are three characters they could easily use if they want a gay superhero in the MCU and the last two are part of the Young Avengers which is rumoured to be in development and those two characters have quite a fervent fanbase. I want LGBT characters in the MCU but I don't want characters altered for the sake of it and I don't want them to be tokens either. Give an existing marvel comic LGBT character as much spotlight as the other heroes on screen for more than just their sexuality. That's how you do representation right.

Hollywood is a money thing.

I don't see any issue with a NEW Peter Parker being gay, but the current one has already had female love interests so he would surely be bisexual :think:. You could argue that he was in the closet but that's not how it's portrayed in Homecoming at all; he's definitely into the Vulture's daughter.

I am getting some serious BFF vibes between him and MJ in the MCU though, I'm not seeing that turning into a convincing relationship.

:umm2:

The only pathetic thing is finding it pathetic. Whats the problem with it?

I used to do ballet.....


do you think I'M gay? :suspecc:

Did you keep the tutus?

not pathetic lmao

Just because it’s fine to be gay now doesn’t mean we have to make everything gay.
