Michel is gay

But within the first episode of the four-part revival, Sherman-Palladino addresses the longstanding query about the Frenchman in a conversation between Michel and Lorelai at the Inn: he is gay. It was also mentioned in the revival that Michel had pursued women, but he never outright states whether he is gay or bisexual. He was definitely coded gay in the original series, but he’s sort of a caricature of a stereotypical gay man.

There’s also the consideration that homosexuality wasn’t super “family friendly” in the 00s, so they went for the “vaguely asexual” character who makes comments here and there about being unlucky in love. Early on in the first film, Winter, it’s revealed that Yanic Truesdale’s French inn manager Michel Gerard (long suspected by fans of being gay) is married to a man called Frederick, and rages. In the first installment of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, his ambiguous sexuality (which many fans saw as an open-and-shut closet case) is addressed when we find out Michel is now married.

Among the revelations promised in Netflix's "Gilmore Girls" revival, the one about Michel's sexuality was pretty unexpected — even for the actor who plays the character. Truesdale said that he had never spoken to "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino about his character being gay — even just to discuss the character's backstory, which can be helpful for an actor. For years, fans speculated on the uptight, easily annoyed Frenchman's sexuality.

The character's romantic life was never shown, nor discussed during the original series. But during the first part of Netflix's "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," we finally learned that he's not only gay, but married to a man. I mean, everyone has their own take on him. In the revival, Michel's personal life is an important piece of information. He and his husband, whom we don't actually meet, were looking to adopt a child and Michel had to wonder about his ability to provide for the new member of the family, as well as whether there was anywhere to move up at Lorelai's Lauren Graham Stars Hollow hotel, the Dragonfly Inn.

And that was great.
