  this video is great, I love that something queer related doesn't have to be sexual at all, it can be related to it in a emotionally complex way instead

  This was a really good analysis! I never made the connection of Johnny seeing infinity in Gyros hands and Gyro seeing it in his eyes that’s insane

  My brother said this is the gayest jojo part, my straight and bi friends also said it was heavily queer coded. I thought they were joking. Golden wind is by far the gayest jojo part but now I&apos;m not so sure. I hope the anime does a good job adopting this for me and the boys!

  after watching and listening to your thesis carefully it makes sense and for me this duo resonated with me my struggles with identity and loss of a loved one as well as struggles with depression in Johnny

  Love your lipstick progression in this! <br>First thing I thought when finishing SBR was “that was the gayest shit I’ve ever read” and it has been my favorite piece of media ever since. Great video!

  People say Jojo&apos;s is gay, is an understatement. I find it very accepting. Also the relations between our two cowboys is very nice. <br><br>Also this may just be me, but my boy Diego clearly could go for ether men or women, since he is Dio in some sense.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wk6J1uoChY&amp;t=136">2:16</a> I knew immediately which scene you were going to talk about. I saw the movie when it came out in cinemas with my family, that movie made me decide to come out to my brother that very same day

  This was such a good video!! I 100% agree with everything said, and have discussed all the points with my friend even before watching it, so it&apos;s clear to see this interpretation is present in a lot of readers. Steel ball run is probably my favorite story ever, and it means so much to me as a queer person. I see myself and my identity in the story, in both Gyro and Johnny&apos;s character arcs. As much as homophobia is present in the jojo fandom, I really don&apos;t think it&apos;s delusional or crazy to read it as queer. Gyro and Johnny have such a deep, meaningful relationship, and even if they aren&apos;t canonically lovers, I think it&apos;s a very understandable relationship to focus on and interpret as more than platonic. A lot of the dialogue and subtext is generally just deeply romantic imo. I think it&apos;s clear that throughout the development of the story, they make each other better people, and bring each other to their fullest potential, and it&apos;s generally really sweet. I really enjoyed this video, and I&apos;m excited to see more of what you will release in the future! (:
