The ayatollah of rock 'n rollah!
So last night Mad Max 2 was on the tele and I decided to watch it a little. It's been ages since I've seen it and I guess this is the first time that I realized that Wez (basically the main villain of the movie) is gay. Here's a pic of him and his bf (Wez is on the right):
So who do you think is the uke and who's the seme? XD
As the picture pretty much shows, Wez is a bad ass psycho punk biker.. not someone you would expect to be gay (especially not in a movie like this) which just makes it all the more awesome. Plus he completely freaks out when his lover gets killed illustrating that he genuinely loved his golden haired boy.
Anyway, it made me think about gay villains in movies and I came to the conclusion that they are shockingly hard to find. Just ask yourself how many gay villains you know and I'll applaud you if you can come up with more than two.
I tracked down a few myself, namely Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct (well kinda 'cause she's really bisexual), Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint in Diamonds are Forever and Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley (although perhaps not really a "villain villain" if you know what I mean).
I'm sure there are some others, but it doesn't hold up against the insane amount of straight villains we got. Apparently we can't have gay heroes nor villains in Hollywood which is a damn shame if you ask me. Where's the diversity people?
