rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead is lgbt theatre/literature the same way swiss army man is lgbt cinema in that it is blatantly textually about two men in love whose identities are so entwined they may as well be one man. what's gayer than that. and why does everyone always forget about them. when i say these stories are my favorite lgbt fiction i'm not being all wink wink nudge nudge. it's in the text
But maybe everyone's a little bit ugly. And maybe we're all just ugly, dying sacks of shit, and maybe all it'll take is one person to just be okay with that, and then the whole world will be dancing and singing and farting, and everyone will feel a little bit less alone.
the way Hank immediately apologizes, even if its just him and manny alone in the woods hes so scared of what other people would think if they saw him like this, hes so scared of being seen as "wrong" or "different".
the way he stops when hes called beautiful, and then tries to calm himself down ("no why would- really?") like hes scared being happy about it. Like him being happy about being called beautiful/being dressed as a woman is something that is inherently wrong and impossible.
even the way he walks in all stiff and hunched over like he is hiding, but relaxes when manny accepts him with open arms.!!! FUCK!!!
i always read Hank as being transgender (or atleast gnc) and thats why hes so scared and ran away from society. hes so terrified of being seen as gross or just different in general that he tried to live in shame until he couldnt anymore.
I think his infatuation with Sarah isnt one of "i want her" i think its a "i want to BE her"
the montage scene, where for 90% of it he is dressed as Sarah, is probably the happiest we ever see her, just by being able to express herself like this (even if it is in the woods grilling raccoons in a dress made out of garbage).
