Bury Your Gays: Difference between revisions

== Music ==

* Spoon's "The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine":

He steals the whole show in his last dying scene }}

* Elton John's "All the Girls Love Alice," about a lesbian who dies:

They found you in the subway, dead! }}

* The name "[[Scissor Sisters]]" is a shortening of the band's original name, [[Refuge in Audacity|Dead Lesbian and Her Fibrillating Scissor Sisters]].

* This seems to be a favorite trope of Tennessee Williams, much of the anguish motivating the protagonists of his two most famous plays, ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire]]'' and ''[[Cat on a Hot Tin Roof]]'' revolves around gay men who commit suicide.

* ''[[The Boys in the Band]]''. Michael both [[Lampshades]] and [[Inverted Trope|inverts]] the Trope.

* Beautifully subverted in ''[[Angels in America]]''. Although deaths of Prior and Belize's friends are mentioned, the only one of the gay characters to die is Roy Cohn, [[Armored Closet Gay|the malicious, heartless bastard of a closet queen who refuses to think of himself as gay]].

* Subverted in ''[[Spring Awakening]]''. Hänschen and Ernst don't appear again after their kiss, which is a pretty good fate, since saying the lives of the heterosexual characters (well, those who are left alive) suck would be an understatement.
