Frenchie’s relationship with Colin in The Boys Season 4 has some viewers confused about his sexuality. Previous seasons hinted that Frenchie isn’t straight, but with him entirely out, fans are wondering if he’s gay, bisexual, pansexual, or queer. Below, we’ll examine the clues we’ve gotten in the show.
What is Frenchie’s sexual orientation in The Boys Season 4?
We know that Frenchie isn’t heterosexual as of The Boys Season 4. He enters into a tentative relationship with Colin, a man he meets at Starlight House, and it’s implied that they are sexually involved.
However, we know that Frenchie isn’t gay. Though he and Kimiko decide to keep their relationship platonic, he was open to romance with her. Additionally, he had a sexual relationship with Cherie in the past.
So we know that Frenchie is bisexual, pansexual, or another kind of queer. It’s likely that he’s never stopped to label himself and has never mentioned his sexuality other than to admit he’s “a little gay.” Fans also theorize that he, Jay, and Cherie were in a polyamorous relationship, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
Frenchie’s fluid approach to his relationships makes him unique among The Boys. His lack of a specific label suggests that he prioritizes emotional and personal connections over societal norms. This complexity aligns well with the show’s themes of challenging conventional boundaries and exploring diverse identities.
As Season 4 progresses, it will be interesting to see how Frenchie’s love life evolves and whether he will eventually define his sexuality more clearly. Regardless, his journey remains a compelling aspect of The Boys, offering representation to viewers who may relate to his ambiguous orientation. This nuanced portrayal encourages a more inclusive understanding of sexual identity within the series’ narrative. Of course, his relationship with Colin is a bit more complex than just sexual orientation, and it remains to be seen whether Frenchie will own up to his past transgressions.
