Alien covenant gay

It was! Well, there’s no way to tell, really, since the Alien movies are only queer according to queer theorists, and queer theorists literally think everything is gay. They chose couples to colonise that new planet.

Can it be an act of a covenant?

Tyrell and the replicant/Weyland and the android... Wait, no, actually there’s one more thing.

7. "We have some conflicts when dissension comes up," said Dean. Yeah, that's gonna help! just because. I have never watched Prometheus with 'gay thoughts' in my mind - wow, that's a strange sentence - but Scott's new comment regarding the first minutes of Alien: Covenant pushed the limits in my view.

Remember that time?” 

Hudson: “But the one you had was male.” 

Frost: “Doesn’t matter when it’s Arcturian, baby!”

The two men laugh and slap hands, complicit in their acceptance of non-normative sexual behavior.

Despite the presence of the word “poontang,” which I’m unsure was cool even in 1986, I can confidently say that this scene was queer!

First, there’s that whole thing about Ripley being a horny human-alien hybrid with razor-sharp nails and acidic blood. In true Alien fashion, the film is flipping conventional gender and sexuality stereotypes on their head, and the franchise's first gay couple are "old-school" military types, consummate protectors, and as Bichir explained, macho as could be.

Bichir plays Sergeant Lowe, the officer in charge of the military side of the expedition, and Dean plays his husband and colleague Sergeant Hallet, another member of the security detail.

It’s their job. Or a 67th wave muslim feminist (hey, it's the future!) that hates men? Vasquez is universal.”

I rest my case! Here is the actual exchange:

Frost: “I sure wouldn’t mind getting more of that Arcturian poontang. He is an L.A. gay.

3. You’re not alone. With Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott is taking the long-running, constantly-evolving film series back to its roots in deep space terror,

Following suit with Prometheus, Covenant is named after the ship at the center of its narrative -- this time around, a massive terraforming expedition transporting thousands of souls to a new homeland.
