Spoilers for the whole book ahead in case you haven't finished! So don't read it if you haven't.

Ok so I finished The Great Gatsby and. Why do so many people think it's gay?? This isn't me being argumentative, I just genuinely don't get it. I've seen some people bring up his frequent descriptions of Gatsby as evidence but also. He describes Daisy's voice arguably as much. I'd love anyone to explain their queer reading to me because I'd love to know if I'm missing anything!

#Yo! Someone I know!#ok well even if you ignore Nick's feelings towards gatsby look at ch2- the last page or two. Tell me that ellipsis is not for gay s@x #and as for Nick/Jay I thought he was hot and cold towards him when I first read it #but he constantly talked about how attractive he was and his frustration was that he was wasting his time on Daisy #his cousin who ordinarily you'd think he would care more about #goes out of his way to help them be together even though he doesn't really seem to care for his cousin #and seems to think Gatsby could do better #but he still spends a ridiculous amount of time and effort helping Gatsby get with this MARRIED WOMAN when he knows it can't end well #because he wants to spend time with him become important to him and see him happy #and then by the second half he's full on Gatsby's side #willing to skip work and drop whatever to help him or be by his side #reassuring him that he's wonderful and that they were the problem not him (which even Nick knows is kind of a lie)#he listens to him and comforts him with genuine desire to know even though he hates doing either of those for anyone else #barely knew this guy but goes super out of his way to try to find/shame people into coming to the funeral #hates Daisy and her husband so much je can't stand to be near them thanks to what they did to him #when usually he'll just dislike someone on the inside but still act polite and go along with them #this is what's coming to mind but Tender would know better and be able to say how much of what I said is bologna #Tgg #great gatsby #book analysis
