When the World First Learned that Kylo Ren Was Gay

Homophobes used to hang their hat on the fact that the gay gene would eventually perish since same sex couples couldn’t reproduce. That point of view lacked logical consistency, historical reflection, and an appreciation for the emerging science of growing babies in petri dishes. All of which explains why new Star Wars villain Kylo Ren is super fucking gay.

There have been a number of memes popping up on the Internet dedicated to Kylo Ren as an emotionally fey bad guy in Star Wars, the Force Awakens. Nobody’s yet labeled him specifically homosexual. Though the three words most commonly used to describe his character is petulant, teary, and vain. And he doesn’t seem to have a girlfriend. And he hates his masculine dad. Also, the mask. Very dramatic. It’s unclear when or how his sexuality will be outed and embraced by the First Order. The betting line says Episode IX. There’s no reason why emotionally retarded mass murdering pretty Siths can’t be gay. Star Wars has always been a step ahead on social progression. Good luck getting a wedding cake on Naboo.
