Unlike the rest of the show, which revels in its surrealism and bizarre scenarios, their date is actually incredibly sweet, and feels like a realistic representation of what dating as a gay man is like today. In the first episode, we meet his character Gabriel as he goes on a long overdue date with protagonist Ulysses. Of course, it’s all a dream scenario, but honestly, we’ll take it.īack when Now Apocalypse was announced, much of the hype surrounded the fact that Tyler Posey (of Teen Wolf fame) would be playing gay in the show. “Why don’t we cut the bullshit and go over into those bushes over there and fuck,” Ford lusts. Despite this, it doesn’t stop our hero from regularly fantasising about his friend, with one scene at the beach ending in an unexpected make-out session. “I love him unconditionally, and if he had even one sexually ambiguous molecule in his body we’d probably be married,” Ulysses says. Ulysses describes his flatmate Ford (portrayed by the stunning Beau Mirchoff) as “a rare Kinsey zero” with no potential for same-sex attraction, despite the fact that they “drunk messed around” when they were roommates at college.
Carly’s job as a webcam performer provides some of the biggest laughs of the show, and the feminist-friendly sex courtesy of co-writer and sexpert Karley Sciortino is a game changer. Not only are they there to provide emotional support for each other, they also help bring each other down to earth among the craziness that’s happening. Ulysses has this in Carly, and their kinship is incredibly relatable. “That’s always been the first scene of the pilot in my head!”Įvery queer man has a straight female best friend who they can talk shit and share dating advice with. “I’ve always been interested in that surreal element, exploring that fine line between reality and fantasy, so there’s that ominous dream element, and then there’s this sexuality which leads into the next scene which is basically a Grindr hookup,” creator Gregg Araki told us of the scene. Unfortunately, they’re quickly interrupted, and Ulysses has to make a quick getaway through the window when his hookup’s husband returns home. And not just any gay sex scene, an explicit gay sex scene. In case you doubted just how dedicated this show really is to showcasing queer stories, there’s literally a gay sex scene within two minutes of the first episode. The first episode brought plenty of moments that left LGBTQ viewers screaming whether it was the endless millennial pop culture references or Tyler Posey giving a handjob in an alleyway, we’ve rounded up five of the queerest moments below.
