LGBTQ Television Guide: What To Watch Now.If he gets a romantic scene, it was good enough and they should have kissed more blah, blah, blah.

If he’s not too queeny, he’s not overtly gay enough. If we get a gay character in a leading role, he’s too queeny. I swear, some people just love complaining about every little display of homosexuality on TV. People can’t use stereotypes because gay people don’t have all of our rights and are prosecuted around the world? It’s true that it’s likely that we’re one of the more persecuted groups in the world right now but how the hell does that mean that people can’t use stereotypes of us on TV? Sure his character has been more fleshed out over the years but he’s still one of the very few.

People can’t use stereotypes of gay men just because we’re under-represented on TV? Apu is one of the only Hindu characters on all of North American television, even counting “token” characters. Someone else has said that this part before but, everyone on this show is some form of stereotype. Mind you I’m really hard to offend, especially when compared to some people on here apparently. Overall it was an ok episode but it did have some funnier moments. Especially the rejections at the hot gay club across the road. This episode was so much better than the show has been in a while, and the point – that a man who pretty much hates everyone can come to love that which he hated, that his cruelty and manipulation of them was wrong – man, that was great! And all you people see is the gay jokes…do you never laugh at yourselves? Do you never watch a drag queen or gay comedian perform anything ever? If this offends you, then buddies, you’re no better than a Christianist getting offended at being told anything logical, factual or real. Seriously, people…the Simpsons has been a very public, very supportive show towards gay people for a long time now. Man 1: Aww…I guess I’ll just have to get a sense of humor, then… Man 1: What?! I’m offended!!! I’m going to DO something about this! Wow…the reactions here have me thinking of the episode of Family Guy where two people listening to one of Peter’s thoughtless but somehow thoughtful rants have the following discussion: I’m sure some of you were Very Deeply Offended by Moe-as-politician dressed like Harvey Milk, but I found it quite funny. Marge, Homer, and the guys had no problems being around gay men - isn’t that the best message to send? If you are that offended by their humor, you have no reason to even watch the show, but I saw the cartoon as affectionate and very accepting. How about those hillbillies Clitus and the family? I’m sure all of you were deeply deeply offended by their sterotypes of Japan, France and Brazil when those countries were depicted. Others are right - the Simpsons makes fun of everyone and everything.
ARe you really offended about a joke that gay men wash their hand in a bar bathroom? Is that really so horrible to think that gay men are a bit more concerned about their health than the average joe six-pack? For some people I guess it is.Īnd if you don’t think that gay men actually make distinctions between other gay men based on looks or abs, you are living in fairyland. Honestly, I think that ANY reference to gay men is going to get complaints from the usual bitter old queens. Still, I don’t believe there was much harm done. These stereotypes aren’t really negative, though there was the use of a negative stereotype later through which they made a joke about gay men being attracted to all other men. They had all kinds of men in Mo’s, though most of them were sort of “queeny…” If they hadn’t done a lot of over-the-top stuff it wouldn’t have had even a chance of being funny. I don’t know many straight people who know about Tom of Finland or Lemon Party and I hope that after this episode they went to Google to look ’em up haha… I know GAY people who don’t know about that stuff.

Plus, it had Alyson Hannigan and Kristen Wiig as guest stars (they were involved in the other story line)! I thought this was one of their better recent episodes. I’m probably one of the few people who have seen every episode up to date. I’m certainly not a walking stereotype (though I do have my moments) and I don’t know if that helps or hurts my case, but… I thought it was entertaining.
