Sanibonani bafundi, futhi ngamukelekile esahlukweni sesithathu salolu chungechunge lokuhlela. Phambilini, besikumbozile uphawu futhi ukufaka ikhodi kumugqa okusiletha esigabeni sethu sokugcina ngokuklolodelwa ngabanqolobi.

Kuyini ukuzamazama komugqa? Ngijabule kakhulu ngokuthi ubuzile!

Ukulinda i-Queer kukhona ndawo thile phakathi kwe-tokenism ne-queer-coding. Kwenzeka lapho ababhali, abaqondisi, njll. Bakhomba ekufakweni kobudlelwano bendlalifa – kwezinye izimo okweminyaka – ngaphandle kokulandela ngokoqobo. Yize kungenzela ezinye izindaba eziqanjiwe zabalandeli, futhi angikaze ngiyisuse inganekwane yabalandeli, imvamisa ayenzi kangako ukuqhubekisela phambili indaba, futhi iphetha izethameli ezikhungathekisayo.

Sekubuye kwahlanganisa nezinkampani okuthi, ekukhangiseni nasekumaketheni kwazo, zisitshele ukuthi umlingiswa othile uzoba ngofeleba kuphela angalandeli lokho nakancane. or ngokunikeza izilaleli zayo ezimangazayo imvuthu yokumelwa kwifilimu noma ochungechungeni.

Isibonelo esivelele ngaphandle kwesabekayo esilethe impikiswano enkulu eminyakeni yamuva senzeka lapho uWalt Disney ememezela ukuthi kunqubo yayo yokwenza bukhoma Ubuhle nobubi, umlingiswa ULeFou uzodalulwa ukuthi uyisitabane.

Kwakuyisimemezelo esithandekayo esaqoqa ukuhlaselwa ngokushesha ngabasadla ngoludala abanempikiswano efanayo yokuvikela izingane ebubini, blah, blah, blah. Khonamanjalo, umphakathi we-queer ubukulungele ukuphuma ngobuningi ukuzobona umlingisi owayekade enamakhodi amaningi njengeyisitabane ekhangwa ngokusobala kuGaston ekugcineni ephuma ekhabethe.

Esikutholile kuwo wonke amadola ethu nezethembiso ezingenalutho zesitudiyo bekufaka amakhodi kakhulu futhi cishe imizuzwana engu-2.5 kaLeFou esina nendoda ekugcineni kwefilimu. Woo, lokho bekungukubonakaliswa okukhulu! Ugh…

Ngaphakathi kohlobo, ukubanjwa kokuqina kubonakala sengathi kuchume ikakhulukazi kuthelevishini lapho ababhali, abakhiqizi, nabaqondisi bengachitha khona izinkathi eziningi bezokwakha ukungezwani phakathi kwabalingiswa ababili ngokubukeka, izimo, kanye nemikhombandlela enamakhodi ukuze kugcinwe ababukeli be-queer bexhonywe ngenhloso ungalokothi ulandele.

Kodwa ingabe lokho kuhloswe? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ukubheja ngezikhwepha kumane nje kuwuphawu lwenkinga enkulu, okusho ukungabi bikho kokumelwa okuvela ngenxa yokushoda kokwehlukahlukana emakamelweni ombhali?

Ake sibheke ezinye izibonelo.

Ama-CW's esingajwayelekile ubesolwa ngokuzibamba ngokuzikhandla iminyaka eminingi, manje, ngokukhonjiswa kwayo kukaDean Winchester (uJensen Ackles) nengelosi uCastiel (Misha Collins), futhi ngiyavuma ngezinga elithile ukuthi bawele ogibeni, kepha yini enye Okungijabulisayo ukuthi bafike kanjani lapho.

Lo mbukiso awukaze ube nowesifazane ohlwini njengochungechunge olujwayelekile. Abesifazane abaningi babe nezindima eziphindaphindayo ikakhulu njengeyodwa noma inhlanganisela yezinto ezine eziyisisekelo esingajwayelekile Izinkolelo zabesifazane: ama-stand-ins omama, izintshisekelo zothando, ama-villain noma ifolishi lenganono.

Umbukiso, kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo, wawugxile kakhulu ebudlelwaneni obuphakathi kwabafowethu uSam (Jared Padalecki) noDean, kangangokuba labo besifazane bavele bawela endleleni.

Ngenkathi kwethulwa uCastiel okokuqala, wayenzelwe i-arc yeziqephu ezintathu ukuba iguqulwe isizini eyodwa iye kwesilandelayo futhi andise izinganekwane zochungechunge ukuze zifake nezingelosi. Ababonisi, nokho, baqaphela i-chemistry esheshayo phakathi kuka-Ackles noCollins nalapho izethameli zisabela kahle inkontileka yandiswa, yabe isandiswa futhi, waze waphakanyiselwa ukuba abe uchungechunge olujwayelekile.

Lapho abesifazane bengekho, futhi bephendula ngokufaka amakhodi athile acacile ukuthi uDean angahle abe ngabesilisa nabesifazane ngaphambi kokufika kukaCastiel, izethameli ze-queer zaqala ukunamathela kulokho ezakubona kwenzeka phakathi kwabalingiswa laba ababili. Ababonisi bakubonile lokhu nokuthi ngabe ngamabomu noma cha baqala ukungeza izingqimba ezincane kubalingiswa ababili.

Amadoda ayemi eduze nje kancane kunokuba sasijwayele ukubona amadoda amabili aqondile emile. Bebephuza lapho bebukana bese bebheka kude kabi. Babesekelana ngokomzwelo. Abanye bakufunde lokhu njengempendulo ebudodeni obunobuthi, kepha abanye baveza ukuthi lo mbukiso ugcwele naleyo mfanelo.

Kubukeka sengathi, ukuntula ukuhola kwabesifazane okuqinile, okukuvumela ukuthi ubhekane nakho embukisweni onjengalona kungagcina sekwenzeka ebudlelwaneni bezothando ekugcineni, ababhali baqala ukudlala ngobuhlobo phakathi kwala madoda amabili esikhundleni salokho.

Njengoba lo mbukiso ungena esikhathini sawo sokugcina, kubonakala kungenakwenzeka ukuthi kuyoke kulandelwe konke lokho kushuba kanye namakhemikhali. Kodwa-ke, sebehambe ibanga elide ukubona ukuthi abantu bayayicabanga, bayihlolile, babhale izindaba eziqanjiwe zabalandeli ngayo (hlola isiqephu sama-200 uma ungangikholwa), futhi bebejabule kakhulu ukusizakala it, futhi ukuthi kimi uzizwa ngamabomu.

Ukushiya i-CW, kusivumela ukuthi siwelele kuma-MTV's I-Wolf Wolf. Manje, ngaphambi kokuthi usho noma yini, yebo, uchungechunge lwalunethani labalingiswa abasebenza ngokusobala. Cishe cishe isiqephu sokuqala, besazi ukuthi uDanny Mahealani (Keahu Kahuanui) ubengungqingili futhi uchungechunge lwethule idlanzana ngaphezulu kulo lonke ukusebenza kwalo- cishe bonke besilisa.

Ngakho-ke, kungani konke lokhu kuphume futhi, ikakhulukazi, abalingiswa besibili abaziqhenyayo, ingabe abalobi balolu chungechunge babona isidingo sokudlala ubudlelwano obunamakhodi phakathi kukaStiles (Dylan O'Brien) noDerek (Tyler Hoechlin)?

Kubukeka sengathi njalo lapho laba ababili besabelana ngesikrini bekukhona abafaka izinto eziphindwe kabili abawela emilonyeni yabo yomibili ngokushesha okukhulu kube nzima ukubabamba bonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ababonisi basebenzise lobu budlelwano wonke amathuba abawathola bethumela nevidiyo yokuphromotha nabalingisi ababili belele embhedeni ndawonye lapho belungiselela umklomelo wokukhetha izilaleli.

Okudabukisa kunakho konke, nokho, ukuthi imibukiso eminingi ababukeli bathenga ukuthi kungenzeka futhi futhi inganekwane yabalandeli yagcwala okwakhuthaza kuphela abadali nababhali.

Kulesi sibonelo, ukubheja okufunwa yinkantolo kubonakala kungeyona inhloso kuphela, kepha empeleni kunomoya ovuthayo. Kwadlala phezu kwesifiso sabo bonke abantu abathandekayo ukuzibona njengesikhungo sendaba, omunye wabadlali abakhulu, kunokuba babe sekondari.

Manje, lapho ngiletha lesi sihloko, othile cishe njalo ukhomba uchungechunge lukaBryan Fuller Hannibal. Kodwa-ke, lapha, ngenkathi kunenani elikhulu lokuqanjwa kwama-homoerotic okwenzeka phakathi kukaWill noHannibal, angicabangi ukuthi kukhona umuntu owake walindela ukuthi bazothandana noma bahlanganyele ezocansi.

UHannibal ekugcineni ungumuntu othanda izinkanuko, kanti uMads Mikkelsen udlala leyo nkanuko kuze kube semgodini. Impendulo yakhe emculweni, ukwakheka, ukunambitheka, kanye nephunga kuyakhuliswa okubuye kukhulise ukusabela kwakhe kulabo abayizisulu zakhe noma kulabo ababheka njengomphikisi ofanelekile, kepha ngokusobala ongahlomile kangako.

Intando kaHugh Dancy yayiyingcosana yabo bobabili ochungechungeni, kanti ngenkathi lo mbhalo ongezansi wama-homoerotic ngokuqinisekile ungeze ukungezwani komdlalo wabo oqhubekayo wekati-negundane, bekungakaze kuhloswe ukuba kube yilutho oludlula lokho nje.

Manje, hleze ucabange ukuthi lokhu kwenzeka kuphela phakathi kwabalingiswa besilisa, uzobe uphutha. Kodwa-ke, ikakhulukazi kusukela ngonyaka we-1970 owesifazane kumabhangqa abesifazane abe ngaphezulu kakhulu ngenxa yesici se-titillation.

Ngalokhu, ngiqonde ukuthi ukucwasana ngokocansi nokuphikiswa kwabesifazane ukudweba kubantu besilisa kukhuphuka ngesilinganiso okungenani esiyishumi lapho abesifazane abangaphezu koyedwa bebandakanyeka kuleso simo. Okwamanje, ngabesilisa, uvalo ukuthi intshisekelo izohamba iye kwenye indlela ngokuphelele, ngokusobala futhi njalo izephule izethameli ezilindelekile ekuthathweni kwezinqumo.

Noma kunjalo, ngisho nasemibonisweni efana Buffy the Vampire Slayer eyayizishaya isifuba ngomunye wemibhangqwana yokuqala yezithandani evulelekile yethelevishini, kwakusenokudlalwa ngothando okukhonjwe ngokusobala phakathi kukaBuffy nenye intombazane engumbulali omubi uFaith, ikakhulukazi ovela ku-POV kaFaith owayebhalwe njengabobulili obubili, eyayikumugqa wokuzilibazisa.

Akuhlekisi yini ukuthi kukangaki lokhu kuhlangana kwabalingiswa okususelwa kumzabalazo wamandla?

Bheka, iqiniso ukuthi, njengoba ngizamile ukugcizelela kuwe kulolu chungechunge, njengabantu abanemibala namanye amaqembu akhishwa inyumbazane, uhlobo alukaze luwamukele ngokugcwele umphakathi we-queer. Sifakwe amakhodi; besiyizimpawu. Sibanjelwe ukubanjwa, kepha nokho sisekhona.

Sisawabuka amafilimu nochungechunge lwe-TV. Sisafunda lokho kuzijabulisa ngokusebenzisa i-queer lens ngoba siyaluthanda lolu hlobo, futhi sifunde ukuhlala ngezimvuthu kunokudla okugcwele esikufisayo.

Kepha sekungu-2019, futhi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sicele okwengeziwe. Isikhathi sokuthi amazwi ethu azwakale.

Impela siyaqonda ukuthi asikwazi ukufuna ukuthi abalingisi abakhaliphile babe khona kuwo wonke amafilimu asabisayo nakuchungechunge lwethelevishini. Lolo hlobo lokufakwa luholela kuphela ezinkingeni zohlobo oluhlukile, kepha uma eyodwa kumafilimu ayisishiyagalombili asabekayo eveza umlingiswa ojwayelekile we-queer lapho-ke sizoba nendawo enhle esingakhula kuyo.

Futhi lapho kukhona uchungechunge namamuvi njengamanje okuhola phambili. Umuntu kufanele avule kuphela I-Chilling Adventures ka-Sabrina noma uvumelane nomsebenzi wabenzi bamafilimu abanjengo U-Erlingur Thoroddsen, UChristopher LandonNoma iyiphi inombolo ye abenzi mafilimu Ngiye yaxoxa futhi evezwa Inyanga Yokuziqhenya Esabekayo series eminyakeni emibili edlule ukubona ukuthi lesi sisekelo siyabekwa.

Kubafundi bami abaqondile okungenzeka ukuthi baklolodile, uma befunde ngisho kuze kube manje, bengizokucela ukuthi ubuyele emuva kundatshana yokuqala kulolu chungechunge uphinde ufunde isiqalo. Cabanga ungalokothi uzibone esikrinini ngohlobo lwamafilimu owathandayo.

Cabanga ukushiywa ngaphandle noma uhlale ubhalwa njenge-monster, futhi khumbula lokhu: Kokuhle noma kokubi, ama-movie nemithombo yezindaba kusiza ukwakha imicabango yethu yokuthi singobani. Ziyilensi esibuka ngayo umhlaba nathi uqobo, futhi kwabanye bethu, ababanga nomusa.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukubekwa eceleni njengezihloko ezinye esesixoxe ngazo bekungeke kube yingozi kakhulu ukube besinokumelwa okujwayelekile ukukhomba nakho.

Kuwo wonke umndeni wami we-queer, ngithi likhona ithemba, kepha akumele sivumele lezo zinhlansi zethemba zisenze singanaki. Lapho sibona ukumelwa kabi, sinelungelo lokukubiza lokho. Uma sibona izinkolelo-ze ezingezinhle, kufanele sithi "cha" ngokuzwakalayo nangokucacile, futhi kufanele sicele ababambisene nabo ukuthi basukume nathi benze okufanayo.
