@HBOMax's "Hacks" is easily one of television's most queer-friendly shows. While star @realjeansmart's character, stand-up legend Deborah Vance, is straight and divorced, virtually everyone in her orbit is gay. Deborah's writing assistant Ava Daniels, played by @hannaheinbinder, is bisexual; Marcus (@carlclemonshopkins), Deborah's advisor, is gay, and is in a relationship with Wilson, a water maintenance man, played by @johnnysibilly. Plus there's Damien (@markindelicato), Deborah's gay personal assistant, and queer actors @poppyrepublic and Megan Stalter in the cast. No wonder the show has been labeled Jean Smart and her queer family. The show has helped increase the visibility of Sibilly, whose character hit it off with Marcus and began an odd couple relationship that continues in Season Two, which began this week on HBO Max. After the show began to air, he was cast in the reboot of "Queer as Folk," adding another queer character to his resume. If Sibilly has his way, he will only play queer characters moving forward. "For me, I always say if I never played a straight character ever again, I would be perfectly fine with that — just because there's so many queer stories that haven't been told that I am dying to tell. It would be an honor to only play queer characters forever," he said in an interview with Out Magazine. By this, Silbilly just doesn't mean a queer appearance. "Being queer doesn't mean you have to throw on a lash and some mascara — which, to be honest, is more fun. But it is that exploration of breaking down those old habits of censoring yourself in order to be considered more acceptable by society."⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ????⁠ ?: @johnnysibilly
