Abstract:
This essay interrogates the representation of "hot mess" gay male castmates and their interpersonal relationships in LOGO's Fire Island's season 1. In particular, this essay identifies moments of media constructed queer failure through which the gay male castmates are framed, not to politicize, historicize, and contextualize their interpersonal relations as possibly emerging forms of queer relationalities. In so doing, this essay overall critiques how LOGO's Fire Island is a material product of homonationalism that colorblinds the hetero-relational paradigm as the normative social capital. The analysis is consisting of three themes; heterosexualization, whiteness, and respectability. In the end, this essay discusses the broader implications of queer relationalities that Fire Island's season one has failed to offer.
