Anyway, I thought to myself, hey- this gay love story crap has been done before! Or have you forgotten the TV show Boy Meets World?
I’ve written a theory behind the Corey Matthews homosexuality here. Take this example of gay romance. Season 5, episode 3 (I looked it up). Corey and Shawn break up. I’m not even joking. This is a real episode.
The pair start out in class, then all of a sudden the pair get into an argument about going to different colleges. The following is actual dialogue:
Shawn: "And you also promised me that if I graduated high school, you'd take me to Vermont. To see the leaves change!”
It gets worse when they actually break up, as Corey’s sister points out.
After Corey’s mom finds him eating ice cream in his jammies, Morgan explains that Shawn dumped Corey, who responds, "Nobody got dumped, we just agreed not to see each other anymore."
Corey’s mom tells him that a person named Lionel called.
Morgan asks, "Is that your new boyfriend?"
Cory replies, "He's just a boy from school. If he calls again, tell him I'm not home."
Who is Lionel? Well, earlier in the episode, he is a nerd that Corey befriends—I mean, has anal sex with, in order to make Shawn jealous for dumping him. In the class, Lionel and Corey are flirting and Lionel offers Corey some delicious grapes. "I'm taking another boy's grapes," Corey brags to Shawn as he entices his ex-flame.
Then, when his mom pressures him with too many personal questions, Corey storms out of the room “to watch Lifetime and have a good cry”.
Eventually, Shawn and Corey get into a shouting match at the restaurant they always hang out at.
Shawn: "You little punk!"
Cory: "You dirty man!"
Waiter: "Catfight!"
Cory throws a glass of water in Shawn's face. Shawn screams like a girl, and splashes a cup of water back, all over Corey’s sweater vest. Shawn storms out of the restaurant, angrily exclaiming “Come on, boys!” in order to direct his new group of boyfriends to leave with him.
In another confrontation between the pair of bosom buddies, Corey tells Lionel, “It's no secret that Shawn and I went through a pretty brutal breakup. Now, things could get ugly.”
Eventually Shawn and Corey work out their differences, hug, and make out. Oh, and in the episode, Corey’s dad and girlfriend question their son’s sexuality.
CAN YOU SAY GAY? It makes Brokeback Mountain look butch. Can you imagine this episode script out of context? If you never saw an episode of Boy Meets World before in your life, and this is the first one you ever saw, you would thing that Corey and Shawn were the pioneers of gay media.
Really, there’s a fine line between over the top feminine humor and blatant homosexuality. And Boy Meets World is defiantly blatant homosexuality.
