It’s time for a very special LIVE 100th Should’ve Been Gay celebration! This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by two returning guests and friends of the pod, Bethany Brown (@bethanybrown) and Devon Hales (@devonhales.jpg) to talk about why Netflix’s The School for Good and Evil and new series Wednesday Should’ve Been Gay. You know Bethany from Charmed and Nancy Drew and Devon from her iconic role as April Stevens in Teenage Bounty Hunters.  First we head to the village of Gayveldon with Bethany to chat about how overwhelmingly gay The School for Good and Evil is. From the intense chemistry of Lady Lesso and Dovey to the hardcore simping Agatha does over Sophie from the second they appear on screen, it is honestly wild to see how aggressively heterosexual the movie pretends to be. Aggie gets dropped into the School for Good, a place overflowing with frilly dresses, mean girls, and dudebros. Meanwhile, Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, an extremely queer-coded school led by the gayest, hottest headmistress we have ever seen ie. Lady Lesso played by Charlize Theron. She thinks she is in the wrong school too, until she gets a cool haircut from Lesso’s axe in the doom room and decides to embrace her inner queer power starting with proudly obtaining and displaying her magic finger glow for all to see.  Although they attempt to put the girls into a love triangle and give them male love interests, their efforts fall flat as Aggie spends the entire movie being a dyke in shining armor focused on protecting Sophie at all costs. In the end when all hope looks lost, only one thing can save Sophie from herself and unite the schools, true love’s kiss. We don’t know about you, but we’ve never heard of a platonic version of true love’s kiss. Agatha kisses Sophie on the lips and it brings her back to life and fixes the world, because that’s how powerful lesbian love is. Afterward, Aggie could choose to stay with her obligatory boyfriend but instead she chooses to return to Gayveldon with Sophie, her true love.  Next up we head to Nevermore Academy with Devon to talk about how gay Wednesday is and scream about Wenclair. All we have to say is, ‘and they were roommates’! Wednesday Addams has always read as queer-coded, just as the rest of her family does. However, this series really takes it to the next level by rooming her with sparkle rainbow bisexual Enid Sinclair. This girl owns at least 6 lesbian sweaters, has bisexual Harley Quinn hair, and is the only person that Wednesday actively shows affection toward (in her own way). She also has a whole ‘conversion camp’ storyline, because she is a late bloomer and has yet to fully ‘wolf out’. Wednesday and Enid are literally the golden retriever and black cat girlfriends we have always wanted and are fiercely protective of one another. They start off not really understanding each other, but grow to discover that opposites really do attract. Of course the series throws male love interests at both of them, but they have so much more chemistry with one another that the boys fade into the background. In the end, the only thing that finally causes Enid to go full werewolf is her love for Wednesday as she risks her life to save her from the Hyde. We are still recovering from watching them melt into a passionate hug after not touching at all for a full season.  We know one thing for sure, The School For Good and Evil and Wednesday Should’ve Been Gay.
