The homoerotic television event of the summer is on… The History Channel?
Queerty, we’ve made a habit of updating you on all the latest and gayest that television has to offer—not to mention our handy guides to the small-screen’s frequent full-frontal features—and there are certain channels we know are good for some hot and heavy queer content: HBO, Showtime, what have you.But we have to admit, there’s one network that hasn’t been on our radar at all, and it’s one that’s frequently offered up some of the most homoerotic programs to hit the airwaves: The History Channel!
We’re so sorry for not bringing it to your attention sooner.The long-running cable channel (now referred to simply as HISTORY) has received some criticism in recent years for pivoting away from actual history and focusing more on reality programming about pawn shop workers and big rig racers.
However, they still offer up a wide range of documentaries and deep-dive investigations into the past, some of which we’re pleased to report look very, very gay.For example: Just this week, we came across a preview for an upcoming limited docuseries called Colosseum, an eight-part look at gladiators, “the heavyweight champions of the Roman empire.” See for yourself:Gladiators were the heavyweight champions of the Roman empire.
Here’s a sneak peek into the limited documentary series, Colosseum. Don’t miss the premiere, Sunday, July 17 at 9/8c only on The HISTORY Channel. #ColosseumHistory pic.twitter.com/n7KVwb4yvq— HISTORY (@HISTORY) July 5, 2022Okay then, HISTORY, you have our attention.
