Is ian from shameless really gay

So, I agree that Shameless gave us a lot of wtf moments we weren’t buying and didn’t want, like Kermit and Tommy’s random hook up in the Alibi men’s room; but the loveliest plot it consistently watered was showing the world a couple of emotionally stunted dudes learn about their own sense of pride, self-care, and to how to unapologetically love one another.

Anyway, we slowly see the two release themselves of the binds of their fucked up, feral childhoods and begin to take care of each other the best way they know how. 

I was originally going to write about the wonderful things Schitt’s Creek gave the LGBTQIA+ community.

Mickey comes from a strict family and has a strongly homophobic father so he’s constantly denying the fact that he might be gay. The finale superficially wraps up many what-ifs with Frank’s death monologue, but I was most taken with the directorial choice to show us what actually becomes of Ian and Mickey. The show paints his experiences with honesty and grit, navigating through early discovery in adolescence to mature relationships.

Monaghan’s performance earned him praise for representing a gay character’s struggles and victories.

Ian pines for a real relationship with Mickey; he wants a real good life, like the one Jack talks about in “Brokeback Mountain.” Instead, Mickey marries the aforementioned prostitute with the intention of continuing to string Ian along, and we’re all heartbroken, but understanding, when Ian has to cut him off. Tackling everything from race and class, something that has stood out for viewers is “Gallavich:” the ship name for characters Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich.

So let’s uncover the truth together!

Ian Gallagher’s character in “Shameless” is shown as gay in the pilot episode. His storyline authentically portrays the challenges and triumphs faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. In true gay cowboy fashion, Mickey whispers to Ian, “what you and I have, makes me free.”  

The hushed statement comes too little, too late and falls short of what Ian truly wants with Mickey.

We were no longer holding our breath for stolen moments like we did for Ennis and Jack’s fishing trips. 

Alas, the finale of season 10 gave us the gay South Side wedding we had yearned for, but there was still work to do. Dexter, a dramatic series with longer episodes, crashed and burned, forcing even the most diehard fans to cringe, curse, and hate-watch their way through its final two seasons.

They have been through so much and yet that makes their relationship so much stronger.
