Yes, Lily reacted badly, but that "Are you?"... I feel like that--not just the line, but the delivery, that small eye twitch, the eyebrow, the tone--hits home for so many people. Kudos to Kelly.
When a child comes out (especially a son), it’s always shocking and painful for a parent. I can tell you this as a gay guy who has come out to my parents. And I completely understood that they were scared and shocked at first. Especially in the elite society that they all lived in the TV show. Later in the episode, Lily tells Eric that she was worried for his happiness and scared for his safety. Meaning she was scared that Eric would be turned down by the world for being gay, especially living in a picky environment like the one they lived in.
@@liamurray23 Oh, that’s good to hear then. Asking questions, worrying, and feeling sad are totally valid things a parent often feels when their child comes out.
Animationexclusive - No I really do think Georgina was being a sly bitch. She knew they didn't know hence her fake acting at being surprised at their response to Eric being gay. She's manipulative and conniving and I love it lol.
To each their own interpretation.. To me, she was so focused on destroying/playing with Serena that she didn't even think about Eric. So it was unintentional.
Animationexclusive I agree with you, we've seen enough of Georgina in later seasons to know that she doesn't care to pretend to feign ignorance when she outs people. She genuinely looked like she didn't know that the Van Der Woodsens knew Eric was gay. Georgina isn't the type of person to care to pretend when she's doing bitchy things.
she should’ve been gossip girl. and it would’ve been amazing if the ~change~ she had in season 2 was only to be accepted in the main group and get their secrets.
@@Tontoquienloleation I believe that the writers originally considered making Eric Gossip Girl. But they didn't take too long to think it over and left it until the final season and then it was like uhh who should we make Gossip Girl? While Eric could be a good Gossip Girl, I believe it should have been Dorota as well. That would be the ultimate power move since most of posts can be explained this way. Dorota as GG could post Serena's return since she believe that Blair truly missed Serena. And then use the blog to keep tabs on Blair.
Lily married a dozen men and dated probably hundreds, she's the last one, who should be judgemental. Eric had a rough time, to say the least. The last thing, he needs, is the shocked face of his mom. He's just gay, not a serial killer.
@@MaxMustermann-hd7oe some people don’t have that mindset and she needs time to understand the situation and become familiar with it. Sorry she needs more than 5 seconds to process
@@sallysmith8408 I mean there's one in every family as the idiom says. When you have a kid you know he/she might be gay, she had like 16 years to prepare to it and not make him feel like crap. Yeah she's not a mean person but damn she could do better here... When your parent react poorly at first you'll keep thinking you made them suffer no matter what they say afterwards. You'll doubt they really accept you. You'll feel guilty. 😢
The subtlety of Connor's acting here is still sublime. The way he reacts as Eric to "He's just not" with that involuntary eyebrow raise and swallow. Gutwrenching.
I'll never understand why she did that to Eric. I understand she wanted to fuck with Serena, but to hurt and humiliate Eric like that? He did nothing to her. I would feel horrible if I purposefully outed someone like that.
I used to think that maybe Georgina didn’t mean to say it but in season 3 when she exposed Lily and Rufus’ love child on their wedding day pretty much convinced me that she doesn’t care who she hurts.
I was so pissed about Georgina at that time (almost 10 years ago) that I didn't realize that maybe she is telling the true. At the end of the episode Georgina said that it was a mistake, but Serena did not believet it, neither do I at that moment... But now I believe her.
She actually admitted that she did it on purpose. Later in the episode when Serena confronts her, she lies and says that it was “a mistake”. Then Serena doesn’t buy it, and Georgina actually confesses that it was on purpose.
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I did it on purpose. Because I can. Because I know things. About you... about your family... about your boyfriend... and I know them before you do." She says this later on. She knew what she was doing the whole time. And I love her character.
A part of my wonders, and kinda hopes that she would have reacted better if Eric had told her himself. It was very shocky like, and she does come to accept him already at the end of the episode..(or the one of the coming ones, I can't quite remember...)
All y’all talking about how cruel Georgina is for outing him but what about his mom??? She looked so disappointed the Least she could’ve done was accept him
Honestly it seemed more genuine, people are always acting like they are pro lgbt but they hate the idea of one of their family members being gay. Lily comes around, but within the span of 10 years a lot has changed. The acceptance we have today was way more then what we had only 10 years ago .The lgbt community was especially looked down by high society. I think lily was shocked, because she never even had the notion that Eric could be gay. But she comes around very quickly
I think Georgina genuinely thought everyone knew like yeah she did see Eric and Asher making out in front of st judes so they weren’t hiding and judging by her reaction and facial expressions I think she actually thought they knew about Eric… but again it’s Georgina
I always assumed that she was trying to be chummy with the family to get under Serena’s skin and then make a mistake 😭 Obviously Georgina’s terrible but she usually takes pride in her cruelty, here she seemed uncomfortable, even alone in her talk with Serena later
I know Georgina was horrible, but I wonder if she did this intentionally or not. I feel like it's left kind of ambiguous whether it was an honest mistake, or she's cruel and schemy so she purposely outed Eric.
Definitely on purpose. When she rambled on about how he was “kissing in front of St Judes for all the world to see” like who would even keep going like that it just felt like she was going on and on to really rub in the fact that he was
Not gonna lie, this is when I knew Eric was GG (before the writers switched it), Cause aint no way Gossip Girl wouldn't have already known Eric was gay
@713jefflopez that's absolutely awful, especially considering that you are her child... Parents should support their children and this shouldnt be such a big issue considering that there are things in the world which are actually bad. This is not one of them! Hope things improve x

Other than that, she always supported him and loved him anyways.
I love Georgina she's like one of my favorite characters but this was the worst thing she ever did I despised her for this I felt so bad for Eric and also lily's reaction made me so mad too but I'm glad she like apologized to him later
That was such a bitchy thing to do telling Lily... Eric is gay and had been kissing a boy that was not her secret to tell 😳 Serena's look at Georgina was so sweet she loves Eric her little brother... I hate how Lily handled that when Eric left

@@Brucehumphrey there’s simply no excuse, in this day and age, to be scared of your child even shortly after coming out. i think lily was more upset that she didn’t know but still that’s self centred of her.
Cordelia Enid H i know georgina is evil and all, but she was right, she saw them kissing in front of the st judes that morning, that wasnt private evem Dan saw the kiss... i consider this a plot hole for real, they really kissed in front of everyone and with gossio girl watching their every move, the only reason eric didnt show up in gossip g, its because they needed Blair to out Asher at that party and embarrres jenny in the process
no georgina didn't know. if you really paid attention to her you'll notice that she's the kind of person that would own up to what she did after, because she took pride in her scheme and manipulation. She really didn't know eric was still keeping it a secret.
She shouldnt have said that and she knew it. Not one normal Person would tell his parents that, she busted him kissing or talking about their love life.
Mary McDonald it's not the fact that she was treating it normally that people are mad abt its the fact that should outed him ON PURPOSE. That's just not okay like at all
Isa A. no georgina didn't know, she outed him on accident. I mean if I saw two people kssing in PUBLIC i would also assume that it wasn't a secret, and that everyone knew b/c it's in public where anyone can see. if you really paid attention to her character you'll notice that she's the kind of person that would own up to what she did after, because she took pride in her schemes and manipulation. She really didn't know eric was keeping it a secret.
@Stephan l Lol first of all don't call me retarded bc that's a fucked up term to call anyone. 2nd I know what I'm saying and I know I'm right. She really didn't know that he was still not out. The fuck does ethnicity have to do with anything. You sound ignorant af calling me retarded and ethnic based off what I said.
I moved back to my (very conservative) hometown a couple years ago and I have a friend who "outed" me (I'm mostly out about having dated a guy for years but I avoid talking about it at my hometown) like this when we were at a get together with a lot of people I didn't know. It sucks
the reason she gave was that she was taken back and she was worried because she knows that means Eric would face harassment in life. they explain later in the episode that she didn't respond that way because she was upset but thatch didn't know how to take the news since I guess she never saw him as gay. granted, it was not right to just assume but I don't blame her for saying she was scared for his safety(not everyone is ok with someone being gay). I agree with you but I also think I can understand why she felt the way she did. she didn't want him to get hurt but also at the end of the day recognizes that Eric would have misinterpreted it as her not being accepting of him.
