Marissa bode gay

Marissa Bode/ Instagram Marissa Bode, who plays Nessarose in Wicked, has been with her girlfriend Lauren Brooks since September After one social media user shared a photo of Bode and Brooks together, another asked: “Is there one straight person in this film?” A second joked: “Everybody (is) gay as hell on set,” while a third wrote: “I love that everyone is gay.”.

Back in early November, well before Wicked hit U.S. theaters, People reported that Marissa Bode had been in a relationship with journalist Lauren Brooks since September The pair attended. Two lesbians, three bisexuals, and one gay goat are all part of the 'Wicked' universe, said Bode in a new viral TikTok. In our conversation, the actress shares which cartoon rivalry is “head-canonically queer,” spills on which movie she thinks should get the musical treatment next, and teases which number from.

One thing that connects all of the current editors of Autostraddle is that we all have a deep love for and background in musical theater. I went to a performing arts high school where I studied musical theater, Riese went to THEE performing arts boarding school, and Drew was also a theater dork. We all have unhealthy relationships to the television program Glee. In high school, the stage was the one space where homosexuals were at the top of the food chain.

It has preserved this time-honored tradition! Therefore, when Cynthia was cast as Elphaba in the Wicked movie, we decided all Wicked news was automatically gay. She is in a relationship with Lena Waithe. Gay Power Couple much? Jonathan Bailey, who plays Fiyero in Wicked , has been publicly out as gay since , though he came out privately to family and friends before that, in his early twenties. In my professional opinion, Fiyero being played by a gay man only adds to my headcanon that Elphaba and Glinda are in a relationship with each other and Fiyero is merely their platonic but perhaps toxically enmeshed gay boy best friend.

Marissa Bode is also queer! The actress who plays Nessarose and has unfortunately had to call out ableist comments about her character has been providing some queer disability visibility on the Wicked press tour as an out wheelchair user. Bode is in a relationship with writer Lauren Brooks. They did Chappell Roan-inspired couples costumes for Halloween this year!

Pfannee is definitely textually queer in the film! He swoons over Fiyero! Co-hosting the popular gay pop culture podcast Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and starring in the gay rom-com Fire Island , Yang has a very queer career, and his casting in Wicked was thrilling news for me and all the gays and girls I know. A post shared by Bowen Yang fayedunaway.

Glinda surrounding herself with gays while entering into a fraught homoerotic dynamic with an enemy-turned-best-friend? That has closeted musical theater gay written all over it, and I should know.

Bode, who is biracial

James is married to Katherine-Alice, who founded a nonprofit that promotes accessibility in the arts in Yorkshire.
