Let me start by saying I am as liberal as the next man.But i have my conserative values too!! I love me some jesus and i am all for guns in the home(especially mine). But on the subject of homosexuality..... I love them! Dykes,studs,fems,faggots, qreers,butches, fairies,ect.. I love them all!!! Maybe I shouldn't use those negative connetations but i gay people in my family, i have gays friends, and just like how Quentin Tarrintnio can say nigger and justify it, i can say those things too. But it is the gay shows that got me loving those homo's to death.
I can say my first lesbian love(not really) was Ellen Degeneres. Not the "I'm comoing out over the intercom at a airport episode," but the new dancing one! The ellen degeneres talk show is great! She not only has a black british dj, but she is a really good host. The show is safe for red state americans to watch because they know she's gay but they don't have to see it.
But unlike ellen"Queer as Folk" lets you see it, and in detail!! I started watching it because my sister was really into it. Man i was not ready for that. If that is a true portrayal of gay life, then homosexual men are bed hopping drama queens( no pun intended) and lesibians are always depressed and never have as nearly as much sex as gay men do! i'm 21 and felt too young to watch that show with all the male on male grinding that was going on. But it had its touching moments too, I just can't get the sex scenes blocked out of my mind to remember them.
But the two shows that never let me down are Will and Grace and Queer eye for the straight guy! Now who ever thought a show about a gay man and his fag hag best friend would be a hit. And just my personal opionion but jack and karen should be the stars of the show. Jack is what i want my gays to be: funny and totally flamboyantly gay. Just how people want blacks to like chicken and whites not to be able to dance! Plus will balances it out with that whole he's gay but cfould possibly be straight if he really tried aspect. As for queer eye , the title says it all: there queer and they have a eye for fashion and they are going to make some tacky straight guy look queer too!! And is there anything better than seeing a straight guy feel really uncomfortable in a dressing room with a gay man? I think not!
So with all of these gay life shows does that mean that america is more accepting? No just llok at the news. Homosexual marriages are still banned in more that 70% of the united states. In most cases a domesticv partner is still not intitled to life insurance policies if the other partner dies, and homosexual hate crimes are committed everyday!! But just how The Cosby show was groudbreaking in showing black life in a different light to middle white america, maybe all of these shows will give us a different outlook on gay america and all the colors of its rainbow!!
