13 Reasons Why Season 2 returns: the queer hits you might have missed

Did you know that 13 Reasons Why is back?

Although you’d expect a season to end when its protagonist died by suicide, the show’s creators decided that there was enough mileage in Hannah Baker’s everlasting plan for vengeance that they would give another 13 episodes a try.

Unravelling the aftermath of Hannah’s death, and the revelation to her parents of why exactly she died, the juicy content is both a tragic and addictive watch.

But queer brethren, what’s in it for us? It appears that there’s more queerness to this programme than perhaps first meets the eye…

1. Tony

Okay, so Tony is a solid place to start. The all-seeing, all-knowing gay Latinx spiritual guide of the series seems to be the glue that keeps his High School year together.

Even though Clay, Hannah’s love interest, appears to ignore everything about Tony’s personal life until he shouts that he is gay and proud in his face, hopes are high that he won’t carry that ignorance into the second season.

Will Tony be given his happy gay ending, and will Clay ask his best friend what’s going on in his life? Only time will tell…

2. Courtney

Remember high achiever Courtney?

She fell for Hannah early into the first season, and when she made a failed pass on her she threw her love interest under the bus.
