Okay background Info:
Captain Flint is the main character and the premise of this show is to highlight his travels as one of the most feared pirates to ever exist.. he was also known to have hidden a treasure so exorbitant that it was written in the book "Treasure Island", very popular.
I'd like to highlight the importance of this character in this show. This man, Captain Flint, is the MAIN character. It's paramount to Rick Grimes in the Walking Dead or Spartacus in Spartacus.
HIS IS HUGE. THIS IS HUGE, GUYS. THE MAIN CHARACTER IS GAY. He doesn't come into the scenes once in a while, this man's face embraces the slot time for at least 40 minutes.. History is being made.
Great SHOW, BTW. TUNE IN, GUYS! There has been a lot of backlash since his sexuality has been received and even for Starz, the backlash seems too intense.. Double Standards, you know?

Double Standards, you know?It is huge news and the reactions from the maddening crowd has been very intense and a total double standard, but if Starz supports the executive producers and creators of the show and their vision for Flint and his main storyline in this show, I will continue to watch. How they set up Flint's reveal has been very good and now things make sense between those two characters. They have never, ever come across to me, as two people in some epic love story. Something, beyond their affair has kept them connected and now that puzzle piece has been put into place: Thomas. His father was a horrible man to do that to his son.

Thomas' father, in my opinion, did not really give two cents about his son's sexual preference but used it to his advantage in order to dissuade him from his political ideologies. Sure, it was messed up what he did but to be objective, his action stemmed from his political lust rather than his dislike of his sons personal affairs. Miranda on the other hand, confuses the living bajeesus out of me. Her incentive to stick with a man who was in love with her husband just highlights the complexity of all their dynamics!

The show is really good, and also has 3 bisexual girls, one of them being the other lead. I also thought Flint was bi as well, but maybe I was wrong. Anyway, season two is top notch tv, I highly recommend it.

Isn't it funny that during all of those girl-on-girl scenes there was never a bad word uttered, but as soon as we have a badly lit gay male kiss all hell breaks lose? I'm so sick of the hypocrisy.

Ugh! I knooow! But considering the general audience of the show I am not really surprised, sadly. Also Olly/Neil are so cute. Best couple <3

I'm not surprised at all by this. It's the same thing over an over.. "lesbians are hot!!!! gay men are gross!!!!" There's always outrage if two guys kiss on a typical male oriented show (like The Walking Dead or Black Sails). Yet these same viewers say nothing when the lesbians make out or have sex. I'm so sick of the hypocrisy. That said, sadly I'm not surprised. I am however very sad that the writers chickened out at first. They should have just stuck to their original plan and say "f*** the haters!" At least they made Flint gay eventually though, I guess it's better than nothing.

I'm bringing this back cause I recently came across that gifset on Tumblr. Best way to find TV shows hahahaha. I decided to binge watch Black Sails (yay Netflix) just because of the kiss, but it won me over very quickly, even before finishing season 1. I'm watching season 4 now as it airs. I thought Flint was bi before coming here. What about Miranda?? Is she supposed to be his "exception" then?? Are you people still watching Black Sails?? We need to talk about this
