Matthew Parris, na Times, afirma e explica porque é que Tintim é, não só um ícone gay, mas ele mesmo uma personagem gay. Um artigo genial que só ajuda a minha teoria de que será difícil nascer e crescer na Bélgica com uma identidade sexual straight & standard. Aqui ficam dois pequenos excertos (um deles provando que Snowy/Milu, o cão, é a única personagem masculina verdadeiramente heterossexual, por isso duramente reprimido pelo resto do elenco):
Billions of blue blistering barnacles, isn't it staring us in the face? Sometimes a thing's so obvious it's hard to see where the debate could start. What debate can there be when the evidence is so overwhelmingly one-way? A callow, androgynous blonde-quiffed youth in funny trousers and a scarf moving into the country mansion of his best friend, a middle-aged sailor? A sweet-faced lad devoted to a fluffy white toy terrier, whose other closest pals are an inseparable couple of detectives in bowler hats, and whose only serious female friend is an opera diva... And you're telling me Tintin isn't gay?
(...) Snowy: The only unambiguously heterosexual male mammal in Tintin's entire universe. We know that because of Snowy's tendency to be distracted by lady dogs: a tendency in which he is consistently foiled by his master and by Hergé's plot. Pity this dog, wretchedly straight and trapped in a ghastly web of gay human males. (...)
