Is it better for people to 'come round' to 'likeable' effeminate characters and accept them before they accept 'normal' gay men or lesbian women?
I'm just interested in people's view on this.
My answer - I actually don't mind Will & Grace - its that type of TV you don't have to think about too much. Does it hurt the gay community? I really really am not sure - i think I'll hve to ponder on it myself.

Hi Kelda!
You mean like the gay version of President Bush's "Shock and Awe"?? Shock them now so they'll accept us later?
Nope. I'll be happy when everyone (Americans in particular) views the gay community as a normal, functioning, worthwhile group of people.
I see where you are going with this Kelda, but shows like "Will & Grace" are bad... really bad; especially in a country like the United States.

Well, yesterday I had Jake's SNL performance on YouTube, but now they've taken it off, with a message that it had not been given permission to be used. What's that all about, anyone know? And I was ready to get my daily Jake-in-drag fix. Anyone know where else that video could be obtained? I just personally loved his screaming falsetto and bulging deltoids!!!

True - sadly I've never really thought about it in this way before - I've never had to. When I clock off at the end of the day I'm not always a big thinker (- I use my brain enough at work!) And I watch these shows generally without the political mindset thoughts in my head. But I guess I forget that while I can see that this is comedy and not necessarily real life - not everyone thinks in that way.

I posted some pics of Jake in drag on the first page of this thread. Check it out! Sorry about the quality of the pics though. I took screen shots off my computer screen. :)
