Gamer Explains Why Bill and Frank TOTALLY Weren’t Gay in ‘The Last of Us’ Game, You Guys
Bro, I saw episode three, and it made me want to rage quit HBO’s The Last of Us series.
Like, they totally ruined the story. They woke-ified a game that was always super hetero. Like, what’s gay about a zombie apocalypse? I mean, I’ve only played The Last of Us Part One, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t ANY male lover characters. I’ve even played the Left Behind DLC, and the libs favor to say it’s gay, but it’s so totally not. Ellie and Riley are just friends, bro. Gal pals. They just peck each other on the lips because that’s something that girls do when they’re really nice friends. And that’s cool.
Boys don’t though, cause that’s homosexual. My buddy Kyle and I did once, but that was just because there weren’t any girls around, so it’s cool. It was basically just a science experiment. Nothing gay about science.
This is why Bill And Frank are def NOT gay in the game
Don’t accept the hype, bro. There are SO MANY reasons why Bill and Frank aren’t gay in the game. First of
HBO’s The Last of Us improves on the game’s implied gay romance
Three episodes in, it’s clear that HBO’s The Last of Us is a constant adaptation of the first video game from 2013 — so much so that lines and frames may have been pulled straight from the game. That’s not to tell that there aren’t changes, though. Series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are making strategic adjustments to certain elements of the game for the new medium and to catch up to new sensibilities. The first of those changes was with Joel’s partner, Tess, and how her story ultimately came to an close in episode 2. Whether it was an improvement is debatable, but for a show dedicated to preserving the anatomy of the source material, it was notable.
The filmmakers made another major change in the third episode, and it’s one that is unequivocally for the better.

Bill and Frank have been mentioned offhand a scant times over the past two episodes, referred to as collaborators in Joel and Tess’ smuggling call. If you haven’t played The Last of Us, those names mean no
After the revelation of Ellie's kiss in Left Behind, the downloadable expansion to The Last of Us, I decided two things. One, that I was sufficiently over being terrified of the game the first time to hand it another go, and two, that I was curious whether or not the game would notice different knowing that Ellie was gay.
When I first reviewed The Last of Us one of the things that I most applauded the game for was the character of Bill. Bill was Joel's smuggling contact, a paranoid loner that lived in the overrun and extremely booby-trapped town of Lincoln. Joel and Ellie join up with Bill hoping to cash in some favors and get a car to head west in.
Bill is also lgbtq+, something that you don't realize until you appear across the body of his ex-lover Frank. Frank had grown tired of Bill's small-mindedness and set-in-his-ways attitude, and had attempted to steal the vehicle battery Bill was going to give to Joel. In the process he was bitten, infected, and hanged himself after departing a very rude observe for Bill to find.
What makes Bill and this chapter of the game so awesome is the fact that for the first time I can ever remember a major character in a Triple A game was queer a
Was Bill Gay in The Last of Us Game?
In Episode 3 of HBO’s The Last of Us, titled “Long, Long Time,” audiences are introduced to the characters of Bill and Frank, a gay couple living out their days in the town of Lincoln, years after the cordyceps pandemic decimated the population. This episode, besides being one of the most critically acclaimed of the series, also marks the biggest departure from the original game, changing many aspects of this particular chapter in the source material. With such drastic changes, especially when it comes to Bill and Frank’s bond, some are left asking if Bill was really gay in The Last of Usvideo game.
Developed in the early 2010s and released in 2013, The Last of Us was created before a moment when discussions about inclusion were within the famous consciousness. In episode 2 of The Last of Us – The Official Podcast, “Summer Part 2,” game director Neil Druckmann confesses that he wasn’t thinking about representation when he created the ethics of Bill and that Frank was conceived as a “best friend.” It was the voice star for Bill, W. Earl Brown, who infused
The Last of Us’ Gorgeous Gay Like Story Could Not Be More Timely

Sunday’s episode of The Last of Us, titled “Long, Long Time,” could have been very different. As the third installment of HBO’s hot novel show about an Earth overrun by a mutated, zombifying fungus, it seemed sure to point on advancing the central narrative of young, apparently plague-proof Ellie, and Joel, her begrudging protector, as they journey from Boston west toward a lab working on a cure—a trek that had only really gotten underway (with a bang and a few hundred whimpers) at the end of Episode 2. What we got instead was a capsule episode, and a particularly bracing one, given the show’s oppressively bleak mood thus far: The hour is dedicated to the love story of Bill and Frank, a lgbtq+ couple who—due initially to Bill’s skills as a bunker-stocking, booby-trapping, Don’t Tread on Me survivalist—manage to build a largely happy being together in an abandoned and eventually fortified rural hamlet for almost 20 years.
The tale of Bill and Frank, as depicted through award-worthy performances from Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett, has garne
