Please, Star Wars, Let Poe Dameron, or Any Hero, Be Gay
The Mary Sue ^ | December 29, 2018 | Kate Gardner

Today is the last Friday of the year, and also the last day that Twitter is featuring #SWRepMatters, a Twitter campaign designed to talk about representation in all forms in the Star Wars universe. This runs the gamut from racial and ethnic representation to sexuality to disabled rep, with each month focusing on a new identity. As the year comes to a close, the founders of the event have used today to talk about the ways in which Star Wars did right by rep this year, and where they still need to grow.

We’re a year out from Episode IX now, and none of the films have included a character who identifies as being part of the LGBT+ community. Fans have speculated about the character of Poe Dameron, played by Oscar Isaac, since he bit his lip and offered Finn (John Boyega) his jacket.

Screenwriter Jon Kasdan and star Donald Glover implied that Lando Calrissian might be pansexual, but the onscreen rep for that seems to be his romantic interest in his female-identified droid rather than any actual flirtation or romance with a male character. Rian Johnson said there was no room for sexuality in his film The Last Jedi, all while talking about how Rey and Kylo’s fingers touching is a sex scene.

Now, we’re four films into the new Star Wars, some might say. Give them time. But the problem is is that we shouldn’t have to wait in 2018, almost 2019, for a major franchise that’s been around for over 40 years to recognize that LGBT+ characters might exist. A line about Poe’s boyfriend wouldn’t have dragged down The Last Jedi any more than an unnecessary shirtless Kylo Ren scene did.

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.

The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

Dumbledore was the head of an English boarding school. Anyone who didn’t know he was gay wasn’t paying attention.

Women also seem to support transgenderism over males by a wide margin.

Jar Jar Binks was severely gay.

The entire Ewoks thing was gay.

C3PO was English queer.

I think there’s been way too much homage to the lgbt community in the Star Wars movies.

They are champions of minority perversions until the tranny men start beating women in competitions. Then all of a sudden they hypocritically are not.

Begging for glirification of mental illness and depravity? Will they have steamy scenes of them in the showers?

This gives me an opportunity to recommend that any of you who liked Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back should see Solo: A Star Wars Story if you haven’t already.

I was so bummed out by The Last Jedi, whose basic theme was “Men Suck”, that I didn’t even bother with Solo. I recently rented, and then bought it after I had seen it.

I put it behind Empire Strikes Back, even with A New Hope, and ahead of all the rest. At least in StarWars terms of reference, I thought it was that good.

And the ending? Take your heart medicine before watching it through to the end.

Imagine a test where besides the sex of a fetus can be determine, they can determine if it would be homosexual.

I would bet the left would be opposed to those abortions.

I gather that is why the frenetic efforts to prove homos were that way genetically has gone totally silent.

I admit I did not immediately realize it, but I caught on.

I guess she was disappointed by Dunkirk and all those Churchill pictures too.

If the fate of the universe is at stake, people better buckle down and get on with the job, rather than obsess about sexual orientation.

I think that's very true, which is sad, since the creation of counterfeit females who are defined only by external features (and not even real external features, at that) completely erases the significance of an interior womanhood.

I always thought Vader had a slight lisp.
