"Modern Family", which has been with us for many years, finally came to an end after 11 seasons.
This American drama is like a utopia, a diverse and inclusive family, a wealthy and sunny middle-class community, although there are quarrels and contradictions, they are finally reconciled with love and understanding.
And one of the biggest influences this show had on American society was the gay couple Cam and Mitch, who showed the daily life of gay families in front of many people who had no in-depth contact with gay people, and showed them the community culture. Show them their lovables and their flaws, and in a word, show the world their joys and troubles as ordinary people. As a result, many people's impression of homosexuality has been changed. Although it is sometimes suspected of reinforcing stereotypes, it is more often exporting queer culture.
One of the most classic is the Halloween costume of season 8:
If you happen to click on the article directory of this official account, you will find that the cover image of the directory is these two:
The 1966 TV series "Batman" is the most famous (and not one of the) danmei TV series in the United States. Since the 1960s, Batman and Robin, who are wearing underwear and outerwear, have become important gay icons in the United States, and in the fashion industry, they are icons representing Camp style.
The connotation of camp style is an aesthetic style that presents ideas in exaggerated, unnatural, incorrect, or outdated forms.
Crooked, the theme of last year's MET Gala was the camp style. There will probably be no MET Gala this year due to the epidemic. You can check out this article to review:

Batman with a tangled personality has been interpreted in various ways from different angles, has been put on the screen countless times, and has gone through countless generations. But only this one from 1966 can be called a Camp icon.
So, no matter how luxurious and handsome Batman's suits become later, Cam and Mitch can only pay tribute to the 1966 version of Batman and Robin.
In 1954, a scholarly work called "Seduction of Innocence" was born. The author's purpose is to point out to the whole society, especially parents, which characters in the comics are evil. It is especially worth noting, and it is necessary to guide innocent readers.
In this book, the author spends a lot of time talking about Batman and his roommate and fighting buddy Robin. He considers the two to be a gay couple and presents some important evidence - including their love of flowers (that is, flowers, not prints) and that they have a housekeeper.
Jay, the big straight guy in "Modern Family", also had a dog housekeeper in the first season?. Could this be the reason he gave Cam and Mitch the dog butler when he had to give it away later?
In any case, for the first time, this book brings up the idea that Batman and Robin are gay, and to many people, it's a titillation. He didn't say that many people probably wouldn't notice. In the decades since, countless cultural studies scholars and psychologists have devoted themselves to the important question of whether or not Batman is gay. (Naturally there are also many fanfiction/manga/video)
Quite a few scholars believe that Batman's tangled inner world is largely related to his repression of his sexual orientation. And the war between Batman and the Joker (some people think that he is actually a deep cabinet), many people regard this as a metaphor for the struggle between homosexuality and homophobia.
The creators of "Batman", some firmly believe that Batman is a straight man, some think that he is indeed a gay, which makes Batman's character in the comics look more tangled over the years, and it is easier to be interpreted as a A comrade who will never come out.
In 1966, the Batman movie and TV series were released in the same year. The so-called rotten eyes look at people, since it is said that he and Robin are gay partners, it is naturally easier for everyone to see their gay attributes from this version. Thus, this tanmei TV series and movie was born.
Dr. Will Brooker, who successfully passed the important question of whether Batman is gay or not, made the subject of his doctoral dissertation in cultural studies, pointed out that every time Batman flirts with other women, it is always blunt and inexplicable, while Robin is embarrassed and jealous angry look.
This is the trailer of the year, to feel the Batman in 1966?
Before that, in 1943 and 1949, there had been two versions of Batman. But 1966's Batman was the first official film version, and the TV version lasted 3 seasons. Film and TV casts are the same. As a superhero, Batman became a mainstream cultural phenomenon at the time. After that, the next version of Batman didn't appear until 1989. In the past few decades, Batman has only this mainstream image. For a whole generation or two, there simply isn't a new Batman to refresh his image.
The 1960s, on the other hand, were the era of the American Civil Rights Movement, which included a vigorous gay movement. As a 1991 paper titled "Batman, Deviance, and Camp" put it: "(Batman is of interest to gay audiences because) he was one of the first to be attacked for his supposed homosexuality. One of the fictional characters." "The '60s show was Camp's touchstone."
In this way, comrades also have their own superheroes. The Batman in the 1960s was their idol. And because of their unique and exaggerated shapes, they are also regarded as the representative icons of Camp style, symbolizing the struggle against the mainstream.
From then on, no matter what sexual orientation, everyone who goes camp has a Batman who is giving TA power.
