The Weekly Dish
“These gays — they’re trying to murder me!” - Tanya McQuoid.
The character played by Jennifer Coolidge was referring to a clique of overly-mannered, ethically dubious, prissy aesthetes in Mike White’s second season of TheWhite Lotus. (The equally brilliant first season got some Dish love here.) The phrase is now beyond a meme. Meticulously manicured, deeply frivolous, and parasitic on the very wealthy (especially widowed heiresses they can fawn over and then dispossess), the queer trope was deeply, even shockingly, old-school for
I was in fact surprised and not a small relieved that Mike Colorless wasn’t subject to some kind of cancellation threat for the portrayal. Chatting about the return of evil gays with my friend Jamie Kirchick (who’s writing a column on this as well), we noted that these characters would have been instantly recognized by audiences in much of the 20th Century as classic homosexuals — as surely as their actual sexual orientation would have never been explicitly mentioned in the movies and shows themselves.

However, plenty of media is willing to be more open, explicit, and even casual about the topic, and has been for quite a prolonged time.
This moment can come either as a clear moment when a character says something such as Sorry, I'm Male lover or mentioning an Incompatible Orientation, or more subtle variations such as pointedly not denying attraction to someone of the matching gender. Some moments can lead to a Transgender Audience Interpretation if the moment remains only as subtext. The reveal can turn into a Wham Line if it has significant ramifications to the plot.

Mike White and ‘The White Lotus’ Stars Break Down That Jaw-Dropping Twist: I Need to ‘Make Gay Sex Transgressive Again’
SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers up to Episode 5 of “The White Lotus,” airing Sundays on HBO and streaming on HBO Max.
Season 1 of “The White Lotus” left jaws wide open when, at the end of its fourth episode, Murray Bartlett’s Armond is caught face-deep in his employee Dillon’s (Lukas Gage) asscheeks. But with the latest second-season episode, Mike White’s HBO series may have topped that (pun intended).
“The White Lotus” introduced new characters and dispute last week when English millionaire Quentin (Tom Hollander) recruits Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) and her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) to join him, his flamboyant friends and his hunky nephew Jack (Leo Woodall) in partying at the beach club. Portia’s budding fling with Albie (Adam DiMarco) begins to flicker when Jack takes interest in her, principal to an awkward, jealous showdown at the bar between Port
