Was Bill Gay in The Last of Us Game?
In Episode 3 of HBO’s The Last of Us, titled “Long, Long Time,” audiences are introduced to the characters of Bill and Frank, a gender non-conforming couple living out their days in the town of Lincoln, years after the cordyceps pandemic decimated the population. This episode, besides being one of the most critically acclaimed of the series, also marks the biggest departure from the original game, changing many aspects of this particular chapter in the source material. With such drastic changes, especially when it comes to Bill and Frank’s affair , some are left asking if Bill was really gay in The Last of Usvideo game.
Developed in the early 2010s and released in 2013, The Last of Us was created before a moment when discussions about inclusion were within the widespread consciousness. In episode 2 of The Last of Us – The Official Podcast, “Summer Part 2,” game director Neil Druckmann confesses that he wasn’t thinking about representation when he created the nature of Bill and that Frank was conceived as a “best friend.” It was the voice thespian for Bill, W. Earl Brown, who infused
That ‘The Last of Us’ Gay Admire Story is Groundbreaking
The love story in episode 3 of The Last of Us, like a survivalist’s booby-trapped residence, hides a several surprises. When we move away from Joel and Ellie’s quest through a bombed Boston, it feels like it might just be for a moment; the show has excelled at crafting memorable, pre-outbreak night flashbacks. Instead, the sequence takes up over 40 minutes of the episode. You might also expect too, in this adaptation of a videogame, that the love story would be blandly told: such adaptations do not contain a history of bringing the nuances of human relationships to life. And yet, here is something well-acted and solidly-told. Finally, most importantly, it is a romance between two men, Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett).
Bill, who avoided execution after break-out day, has created a well-guarded, well-stocked house, complete with a fruit and vegetable patch. His traps keep the stray infected out. He is secure, protected, alone. Until he meets Frank, for whom he cooks and rapidly falls for. The full timeline of their love story certainly has some emotional highlights, and their dinnertime death scene is shot through wi
The Last of Us’ Gorgeous Gay Love Story Could Not Be More Timely
This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us, Episode 3.
Sunday’s episode of The Last of Us, titled “Long, Long Time,” could have been very different. As the third installment of HBO’s scorching new show about an Earth overrun by a mutated, zombifying fungus, it seemed sure to highlight on advancing the primary narrative of young, apparently plague-proof Ellie, and Joel, her begrudging protector, as they journey from Boston west toward a lab working on a cure—a trek that had only really gotten underway (with a bang and a few hundred whimpers) at the end of Episode 2. What we got instead was a capsule episode, and a particularly bracing one, given the show’s oppressively bleak mood thus far: The hour is dedicated to the love story of Bill and Frank, a homosexual couple who—due initially to Bill’s skills as a bunker-stocking, booby-trapping, Don’t Tread on Me survivalist—manage to build a largely cheerful existence together in an abandoned and eventually fortified rural hamlet for almost 20 years.
The tale of Bill and Frank, as depicted through award-worthy performances from Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett, has garne

After the revelation of Ellie's kiss in Left Behind, the downloadable expansion to The Last of Us, I decided two things. One, that I was sufficiently over entity terrified of the game the first time to provide it another travel, and two, that I was curious whether or not the game would feel different knowing that Ellie was gay.
When I first reviewed The Last of Us one of the things that I most applauded the game for was the character of Bill. Bill was Joel's smuggling contact, a paranoid loner that lived in the overrun and extremely booby-trapped town of Lincoln. Joel and Ellie meet up with Bill hoping to cash in some favors and get a automobile to head west in.
Bill is also gay, something that you don't perceive until you reach across the body of his ex-lover Frank. Frank had grown tired of Bill's small-mindedness and set-in-his-ways attitude, and had attempted to steal the wagon battery Bill was going to offer to Joel. In the process he was bitten, infected, and hanged himself after leaving a very rude remark for Bill to find.
What makes Bill and this chapter of the game so awesome is the fact that for the first time I can ever remember a major character in a Triple A game was gay a
