Time To Get Critical About Representation in “Shameless”
A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.

Noir Male and Chi Chi LaRue present four scenes of beautifully filmed, sensual, interracial group sex. Things get wet and wild in an interracial fourgy fuckfest starring Dillon Diaz, Deep Dic, Manuel Skye, and Nico Santino. While playing poker, things get extra freaky when Noah Donovan, Aaron Reese, Kurtis Wolfe, and Ziggy Banks go all-in on a gangbang. Beau Reed picks both Trent King and Aaron Reese to be the best man at his wedding, and after a few drinks and some dirty conversation about the bachelor party the horny best friends decide to take their friendship to a deeper level. Casey Everett and Colby Tucker are newlyweds who have to work out a deal with mega hung Marquee D'Angelo, the landlord of their rented vacation home, when he checks their credit… but the good news is that their flip-fucking threeway affords the couple a long, enjoyable stay.

This Agni Kai looks cool and is funny as well!
In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.

There’s enough evidence to insinuate that What We Do in the Shadows is intentionally queer-coded.
