Но это же пропаганда!
Нет. Стать гомосексуалом нельзя. Им можно только родиться. Люди не выбирают ориентацию, как одежду. Если человек не испытывает влечения к своему полу, он и не будет его испытывать. Это означает, что нельзя добиться смены ориентации пропагандой.
Также стоит учитывать, что, согласно статистике, каждый десятый представитель любого вида — гомосексуал. И я говорю не только о людях, но и о любых животных.
Появление ЛГБТ-персонажей в кинокомиксах — важная веха в развитии общества, поскольку подростки, осознавшие свою ориентацию, поймут, что она нормальная, что бы ни говорило гомофобное общество.
Средний возраст каминг-аута среди американских подростков — 13 лет. Российские подростки признаются в своей ориентации другим людям в возрасте 14–15 лет. И как раз эти молодые люди — один из основных костяков целевой аудитории Marvel.
Но наш мир далёк от идеала: родители многих ЛГБТ-подростков отказываются от общения со своими детьми, гомофобное общество из-за зашоренных взглядов гнобит таких людей. Итог — глубокая депрессия, затворничество. Это может привести к появлению желания человека покончить жизнь самоубийством. Всего лишь из-за того, что он, по мнению общества, любит как-то неправильно.
Многие ЛГБТ-подростки прячутся, женятся или выходят замуж за людей другого пола, заводят с ними детей. Но это не делает их счастливыми: они скрывают самих себя.
Поэтому любому подростку, как и их родителям, нужен ориентир, дающий понять: вы можете любить человека любого пола. И ваша любовь — это нормально.
И, похоже, фильм «Вечные» станет ещё одним шагом в сторону понимания этого факта.
Who are Marvel’s ‘Eternals’?
Eternals is one of the most anticipated Marvel movies coming to theaters in phase 4. It features a group of well-known actors who are all making their MCU debut. The list includes Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Barry Keoghan, Brian Tyree Henry, Gemma Chan, Kit Harington, Kumail Nanjiani, and Richard Madden.
Written and directed by Chloé Zhao, the movie introduces an immortal alien race that comes together to protect humanity from their evil counterparts. It will also feature a few MCU firsts, like the kiss between Phastos and his husband.
Haaz Sleiman recently sat down with New Now Next to promote his new movie Breaking Fast. During the chat, the actor talked about being part of such a big MCU moment. He said that he hasn’t seen the film yet. But, he’s still proud about what Marvel’s been able to accomplish.
“It’s my first Marvel film, so of course I’m excited. My gut feeling is you’ll be so proud. What Marvel has been able to accomplish, I’m so proud of them because they approached it in a very thoughtful way, and Phastos is one of the biggest superheroes in the film,” Sleiman said.

Chris Evans Dating History
So far, all of Evans’ public relationships have been with women. His longest relationship to date was with American actress Jessica Biel, who he dated from 2001 to 2006. It seems that the twosome were serious, as Biel mentioned that they’d discussed marriage and having children together, although they were never engaged.
A year later, Evans reportedly started an on-and-off relationship with Minka Kelly. The pair had a rollercoaster romance before finally calling it quits in 2014. The two never commented on their relationship.
In 2016, Evans got together with his Gifted costar Jenny Slate. Unfortunately, the two seemed to drift apart in early 2017 before being spotted together again later that year. They finally confirmed their breakup in March 2018.
Evans has also been romantically linked with a number of other high-profile celebrities, including Selena Gomez, Lily James, Christina Ricci, Kate Bosworth, and Sandra Bullock.
Officially, the Captain America star is still on the market. It could be that Evans prefers the life of a lone wolf, as he once explained to USA Today. “I’m the one who fears being enveloped,” Evans said. “I was always a really autonomous guy my whole life…I really like to be with someone who also has their own thing to do as well, you know? If I’m with someone who just kind of adopts my life, that can feel a bit suffocating.”
Of course, it could be that Evans is just waiting for the right girl — or guy — to sweep him off his feet.

Like The Rest Of The Eternals, Phastos Is Incredibly Powerful
As you can imagine from their title, Eternals are some of the most powerful teams in the universe. They can take the without breaking a sweat, and quite possibly the Avengers too. Each of them can project cosmic energy from their eyes and hands, have superhuman strength, can self-heal, levitate themselves along with other objects and beings and are pretty much immortal. What separates Phastos from the pack is his genius-level intelligence who has the ability to create incredible weapons, and he’s a master technologist. Phastos is known for carrying around a hammer that can manipulate machinery in ways the power of the Eternals cannot.

Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos Will Have A Husband And A Family
It has been confirmed that the Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos will be the first openly gay character in the MCU and . Kevin Feige confirmed it back in August along with saying that it’ll be “just part of who he is”. Some of the best representation doesn’t explain the diversity it includes or give the identity a spotlight without giving the character something out of that to do and here’s hoping The Eternals does the same. It should be noted that Phastos’ gay sexuality is not part of the comics in any way but he is a small enough character in the universe for it not to be changing anything massive from the source material.

In Ancient Greece Phastos Was Mistaken For Hephaestus
Since Phastos has been around for thousands of years, he was alive during Ancient Greece. In the comic books, he was often mistaken for the famous Greek God Hephaestus, who is the Olympian god of fire and metalworking. As you can imagine, back in the day when the Eternals used their powers the citizens of Greece immediately expected them to be the holy beings they worship. If you’re familiar with Greek mythology this comparison actually says a lot about who Phastos is. Like Hephaestus he’s a clever inventor and knows how to skillfully create a weapon. Plus, he is morally against war.

Marvel hopes ‘Eternals’ is the new ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’
It’s hard to remember now, but back before Guardians of the Galaxy hit theaters in 2014, they were one of Marvel Comics’ more obscure properties. Despite the group of relatively unknown characters, James Gunn and the Guardians‘ cast and crew hit box office gold with both the original and the sequel.
Now, Eternals is the unknown Marvel property that the studio hopes will follow in the Guardians‘ footsteps. The entire cast consists of brand new MCU characters, and they are mining a new corner of the universe. But that doesn’t mean fans won’t see a familiar face or two.
According to Cinema Blend, there’s a chance that Thanos could appear. Jim Starlin — the comic book artist and writer who created the character — said during a recent episode of the Phase Zero podcast that he’s heard Thanos will be present.
“I believe I’ve heard some rumors that he’s coming back in different things. I think I’ve heard confirmed from Marvel Studios that he’s going to be… at least a guest appearance inside the Eternals, so he’s gonna be around. This is not anything I’m making up. This is something I’ve read somewhere,” Starlin revealed.

Phastos Opposed War Against The Deviants
Jumping off that last point on war, this is a trait of Phastos which defines him and has placed him at odds with the rest of the Eternals. In the comics, when the other members of the team were ready to go to war with the Deviants, he refuses to join Ikaris and the others. The Deviants are a race that were created by the Celestials at the same time they created the Eternals except they are much different. There are way more Deviants, they are hideous and have random physical mutations. In The Eternals movie, the story will revolve around the team reuniting against the Deviants. Will Phastos’ morals remain the same in the movie?

Phastos Of Marvel Comics Believes Life Is Meaningless
Another distinguishing trait about Phastos is his approach to the world as a whole. The character to be played by Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry is pretty much a nihilist along with being a pacifist. Phastos is more reserved and grim than the rest of the group and he believes that life is meaningless. He does live in search for someone or something that can change his mind and show him the meaning of life. Perhaps this comes in the form of the husband and children he’ll have at some point during The Eternals movie?

Who Is Playing Phastos’ Husband In Eternals?
It was revealed in February that Haaz Sleiman will be playing the husband of Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos. Sleiman is an openly gay actor himself who is of Lebanese descent. He has starred in an episode of AppleTV+ series Little America (which fellow executive produced) and he was also in 2007’s The Visitor. It’s uncommon for an openly gay man to play a gay man in a major studio film and could be an important moment of representation for the LGBTQ community. The actor confirmed the that had everyone on set crying. The couple will also have a child.
The Eternals comes to theaters on November 6, 2020.
Will the MCU ever have a gay superhero?
Sleiman also gave fans a few details about his Eternals character. He revealed that he plays an architect who is Phastos’ husband, and the couple shares a child together. Sleiman admits that he wished he would have been playing the superhero. And he hopes to see more representation in the MCU in the future.
“I’m his husband, an architect; we have a child. Even though I wished I was the superhero, because when will we see an Arab Muslim openly gay actor playing a superhero? I can’t wait to see it,” Sleiman said.
Other Marvel actors have spoken out about the need for more representation in the superhero genre. According to Screen Rant, Tom Holland has shared his desire for an openly gay Spider-Man someday. Tessa Thompson has also teased that Valkyrie would be looking for a partner in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Eternals is currently scheduled to hit theaters on November 5, 2021.
Зачем эта толерантность?
Мы сопереживаем тем персонажам, судьба которых нам близка. Мы ассоциируем себя с ними. И разнообразие в героях киновселенной Marvel — следствие понимания этого фактора.
В детстве мне очень нравился «Человек-Паук» с Тоби Магуайром в главной роли: я был если не «ботаником» в школе, то точно не самым любимым человеком среди своих одноклассников. А ещё и учился хорошо. И тогда Человек-паук стал мне близок именно из-за этого фактора: Питер был физически слабым, но умным человеком.
Его суперсила, переданная через укус паука, стала метафорой того, что есть в каждом человеке: паук раскрыл потенциал персонажа. Из-за этого миллионы таких же подростков, как и я, начали верить в себя. В этом сила супергероев для реального мира — они становятся чем-то вроде ориентира для людей.
И именно поэтому сейчас в фильмах всё больше самых разных персонажей, обладающих суперсилой: не только белым мальчикам нужен ориентир. Да, есть расовая толерантность, которая требует от нас забыть о каких-либо предрассудках, но эта мысль не противоречит необходимости в определении национальной идентичности. Из-за этого появляются персонажи вроде Лилу. Они находят друзей в лице инопланетянина Стича, а также Моана или Мулан.
Marvel давно вошла в эту колею. Но это были очень неуверенные шаги в виде Чёрной вдовы: кто такая Наташа Романофф? Почему мы ей должны сопереживать? Да, кто-то знает её предысторию, в отдельных фильмах даже были кадры её становления, но большинству зрителей она непонятна как персонаж. И вот спустя десять лет после дебюта персонажа наконец-то выйдет сериал, посвящённый Наташе.
Люди видят героев, с которыми могут себя ассоциировать, что помогает им принять себя такими, какими они есть. Сначала это был белый мужчина, затем во вселенной на заднем фоне появились другие персонажи: Ник Фьюри, Воитель, Вдова, Чёрная Пантера, Капитан Марвел. Теперь же очередь дошла до ЛГБТ-героя.
Involvement With The LGBTQ Movement
Evans is an outspoken ally of LGBTQ. In a 2012 interview, the star expressed his support of gay marriage, stating, “It’s insane that civil rights are being denied people in this day and age. It’s embarrassing, and it’s heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I’m completely in support of gay marriage. In ten years we’ll be ashamed that this was an issue.”
He attended the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards along with his out brother and fellow actor Scott Evans in 2013. Evans also mocked organizers of a “Straight Pride Parade” on social media in Pride Month of 2019, mocking it as “he ‘desperately trying to bury our own gay thoughts by being homophobic because no one taught us how to access our emotions as children’ parade.”
Can we take Evans’ support as a tacit admission of his sexuality? Well, whether you’re gay, bi, or straight, advocating for LGBTQ rights is just being a decent human being. Evans has called himself an “ally for equality” but has never made any statements identifying with any LGBTQ label himself.
Hugh Grant discusses gay s*x scenes with Ben Whishaw
For a new BBC television series dubbed A Very English Scandal, Hugh Grant has been tasked with giving new life to the genuinely astonishing tale of the bis*xual political figure from the 1960s and 1970s.
The three-part series tells the strange story of Thorpe and Norman Scott, who threatened to publicly out Thorpe at a time when being gay could ruin a career.
Hugh Grant’s character Thorpe confides in a friend that he is “80 percent gay.” in an early episode of the series while having dinner with a coworker in the House of Commons restaurant.
“Those words have never been said within these walls before,” his guest coyly replies.
The following claim is so absurd it defies belief: Thorpe allegedly attempted to have his younger lover killed to prevent being out, to protect his family, his career, and the future of The Liberal Party, of which he was the leader the time.
Is Hugh Grant Gay
The series, written by Russell T. Davies and directed by Stephen Frears, the filmmaker behind classics like High Fidelity and Dangerous Liaisons, was inspired by a novel by John Preston that was published in 2016 and renewed the story.
Hugh Grant, who is making his first appearance on television since the 1990s, is on autopilot as the attractive, charismatic, and deceitful Thorpe; in many respects, the character seems to have come directly out of a romantic comedy.
“I think he was tormented,” Grant explained. “When you feel your family’s threatened, we’re all capable – however privileged or genteel – of surprising violence.”
Grant portrays Thorpe, the well-liked icon, as an opportunist dedicated to broadening Britain’s political participation and a man who jealously guards his position of authority.

The critical term for Thorpe is reputation, and until Scott changes that, his gay liaisons are always kept to the level of hedonistic indulgence.
Younger country bumpkin Scott, played by Ben Whishaw, is a seductive blend of naïve and cunning as he impulsively drip-feeds information about his affair with Thorpe to the MP’s closest friends.
