  2. Good for him. I’m sick of assholes who rare homophobic.

  4. That’s one of the best episodes of any show that I’ve ever seen

  5. It’s a beautiful episode.
    The relationship between the two characters was expressed wonderfully.
    Only total philistines could hate a portrait of love.

  8. let’s rekindle this storyline for no reason at all.

  9. Two guys fucking each others beautiful hot delicious assboles? Nothing gay about that. Good on Nick.

  10. What does it say about homophobes that they can’t get through an episode of television without getting the ick about two same-sex people in love?

    Immature garbage is all they are and they are best left in the dumpster where they belong.

  11. My dad is a bit….socially conservative so when he was watching the last of us I gave him a heads up about this episode. He said “so fucking what? It’s not contagious.” And while he did make a few jokes by the end he was really sympathizing with Bill and really sad about Frank. His favorite episode of the season. He felt like he could relate to Bill in his personality.

    “He put poison in his wine too. It’s what i would do.”:

    It amazes me that my old man is more tolerant than these assholes can be. He’s been very surprising lately so this was my first sign of it.

  12. Keep ignoring the remaining bigots until they just fade away.

  14. My wife and I were actually teared up on this episode, it was beautiful.

  15. Nick Offerman accepts the Spirit Awards for best supporting performance:
    >”Thank you so much. I’m astonished to be in this category, which is bananas. Thanks to HBO for having the guts to participate in this storytelling tradition that is truly independent. Stories with guts that when homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you a-hole!”

  16. That episode is probably the best in the series. Ironically it has the least to do with the pain plot, but it’s just so damn good. And it was better than what happened in the game too.

  17. He is what being comfortable with your sexuality looks like

  20. I enjoyed the episode i was put off by the quality of the fake beard not their genders

  21. For the first 20 minutes of this episode, I thought I had messed up and started watching something else. Episode turned out to be pretty damn good.

  26. I could care less if it was two guys, two girls or one of each I didn’t like the episode at all it was too slow in my opinion. People that hate it because of the same sex relationship suck but what also sucks when that episode first came out people who just didn’t like the episode for reasons other than homophobia were being insulted and lumped in with the homopobes.

  27. I actually didn’t love the episode. I just didn’t think it furthered the main story. As a fan of the game, I wish they would’ve kept it more as flashbacks and show how tgeir relationship grew but showed how Bill guided Joel and Elle through the neighborhood. I thought that was an important part that was not shown.

  29. It’s wild to me that THIS is the story that gets brought up in these conversations. This episode was amazing! If you want to say Ellie and her love interest are boring then go ahead, they episode was ass.

  30. Didn’t hear anyone complain when Nick played Andre Braugher’s (RIP 😞) ex in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. 😒

  31. To be clear, no one attacked or said anything to anyone. He’s posturing against hypothetical criticism. This headline implies he’s retorting against someone but it’s deceptively quoting Nicks rhetorical argument. They’re farming clicks by extorting our emotions. However much you hate the media, it’s not enough.

  32. Isn’t the episode like over a year old lmao why are people still this mad that it requires a variety article?

  33. I really liked Bill’s sexuality reveal in the game. It was secondary to his character and when it’s revealed you truly feel the loss to where even Joel feel sympathy. I didn’t need an episode drawing it out but for those who didn’t play the game I get why they did it.

  35. I felt sad for them, especially at the end. It was a good episode.

  36. Nothing to add except

    1 it’s a great episode is a understatement

    2 it’s funny I just watched him in gravity falls and then I see this

  37. He’s the real MVP, it was one of the most gorgeous and heartbreaking love stories I’ve seen in modern television.

  38. crusty anus hair shitballs ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval) find an enema or use a hose

  39. This and Black Mirror’s San Junipero were the top love stories in my opinion of recent years. I’m trying to think of really great straight ones, but I’m at a loss.

  40. This was my favorite episode of the season, it was a profoundly beautiful and sad, and everyone behind it should be incredibly proud of that episode.

  41. I liked the episode but nobody would give a flying fuck about it if it were a straight couple. Let’s be honest.

  42. The conservative Ron Swanson superfans must be so shocked when they realize Ron Swanson is a pretend character from a TV show and Nick Offerman is nothing like him in real life.

  43. Yeah I’m sure he and the writers didn’t think of it as a gay story and didn’t ponder all the accolades and tributes to their bravery that they’d receive.  Just a standard boring ol love story.

  44. It was my favorite episode of the entire show. Didn’t feel like some forced diversity agenda, as it normally does. Brilliant writing, brilliant acting.

  46. Good story, but as an episode… it adds nothing to the show. If you remove it nothing changes.

    It doesnt even affect to Joel.

  48. I have one of those very conservative friends saying how good of a show TLOU is straight up to that episode, then radio silence. “Haven’t watched it since”. Fucking lunatics.

  49. It’s a beautiful love story between to handsome men.
    Nothing gay about it
