In this terrible economy, there is one recession-proof accessory for any woman on television: a gay best friend! Bryan Safi explores the topic on 'That's Gay!'

2. Very interesting.
Great way to show how gays, especially men, are trivialized and lesbians are ignored.

5. Not only that
They are also stereo-typed by Hollywood. Maybe it's because I live in Nebraska, but people that I know who are gay, do not act even remotely like the Hollywood gay role model. Sometimes I feel like asking, is this supposed to be what gays are about, or are you just trying to expand your acting career? (Chris Crocker). Hell even the gays who cross dress are different. Their not out there trying to look all glitzy and outrageous,(black window designer in Mannequin gay) they are being themselves, un-casual everyday clothes/makeup that any other person of the opposite gender would ware.

I can be acceptable of any gay person in the world, I am not however, a fan of the rocky horror picture show (or Halloween) fashion ware.

It gets a little too goofy outrageous on TV sometimes. So much, that I would rather not watch.

My gay friend Vito used to do cross dressing acts up in Minnesota "Vortex" he went by (maybe some of you have heard of him).

He used to look AWESOME the way he could transform his look. Even he was kinda against dressing all Halloween like to express who you are.

4. The fact that they teased it is insulting enough.
"Gays are able to switch teams"... Only on TV.:eyes:
