Those about to die gay

It’s a reminder that gay people have every right to inhabit all sorts of roles, both as sinners and saints. Just as importantly, as I’ve written before, there’s something strangely and intoxicatingly empowering about figures like Domitian.

Those About to Die is an epic historical drama television series developed by Robert Rodat and directed by Roland Emmerich and Marco Kreuzpaintner. The Daniel P. Mannix book-adapted-into-TV series premiered on July 18, , on Peacock with all 10 episodes, [1] and internationally on Amazon Prime Video on July 19,

One of the best things about Those About to Die is its plentiful queer representation. The series checks all the marks of good queer rep with the number of characters and their importance to the story. Other than Domitian Flavianus and Cala (Sara Martins), many of the characters in the show are poorly crafted. But the series sets itself apart with Domitian. He is the most significant gay.

Those About to Die offers a captivating glimpse into Ancient Rome, exploring themes of power, intrigue, and sexuality. The series invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and the fluidity of sexuality in one of history’s most influential civilizations.
