“I’ve always been interested in that surreal element, exploring that fine line between reality and fantasy, so there’s that ominous dream element, and then there’s this sexuality which leads into the next scene which is basically a Grindr hookup,” creator Gregg Araki told us of the scene. Unfortunately, they’re quickly interrupted, and Ulysses has to make a quick getaway through the window when his hookup’s husband returns home. And not just any gay sex scene, an explicit gay sex scene.
In case you doubted just how dedicated this show really is to showcasing queer stories, there’s literally a gay sex scene within two minutes of the first episode. The first episode brought plenty of moments that left LGBTQ viewers screaming whether it was the endless millennial pop culture references or Tyler Posey giving a handjob in an alleyway, we’ve rounded up five of the queerest moments below. Hailing from the minds of New Queer Cinema legend Gregg Araki and Vogue sex columnist Karley Sciortino, the new Starz series follows bisexual protagonist Ulysses (Avan Jogia) and his friends as they pursue love, sex and fame in Los Angeles.
