Our Flag Means Death: The Gay Emancipation of Blackbeard | READUS 101
Our Flag Means Death: The Gay Emancipation of Blackbeard || Our Flag Means Death does a great job at tackling multiple queer characters and gay moments in ways that prioritize LGBT members in a narrative including pirates, adventure, and a well done kiss scene. But what really makes Our Flag Means Death gay, is its use Taika Waititi’s Blackbeard -- through his relationship with the main character Stede Bonnet -- to tell an allegorical story about how close-knit toxic masculinity is to internalized homophobia leading up to the kiss scene, and how one’s journey of emancipation can be more difficult than it seems.
