The Outing of a Trans person Contestant Was an Disgusting Moment, but Survivor Was the Perfect Place for It
There was one excellent scene in last year’s Millennials vs. Gen Xedition of Survivor that momentarily justified a cartoonish season of television. Zeke Smith, a gay improv comic from New York on the millennial team, was spending time alone with Bret LaBelle, a 42-year-old Boston police sergeant. Their interaction began as many do in Survivor, with two people of significantly different backgrounds—and, convenient to the season’s theme, other generations—bonding over their joint experience. But then, a surprising development: LaBelle came out to Smith as a gay man and described his journey to self-acceptance. “I didn’t expand up in a occasion when it was normal to talk about creature gay,” he explained. “Zeke finds comfort in existence himself, and I assume that’s great. I’m hoping that as my existence goes on, from here on out, I can be that way.” Despite the show’s insistence on tying an authentic connection to a hackneyed theme, the scene’s value remained intact: An audience of more than 8 million tuned in for a heartfelt chat on the evolution of gay identity.
