The Regulars Comic, from Karl Hampe, is published every Friday on Queerty.
The Regulars Comic is a fun, snarky take on what might happen if a gay, urban attorney burn-out wound up running a coffee bar. It’s an irreverent weekly, web-based look at the silly, sexy, and enraging clash between gay pride and daily prejudice. Visit TheRegularsComic.com for more.

This comic fails to mention the important point that Fox News and Fox Entertainment are like black and white.

How is Glee gay-friendly? I’ve never seen a male-male relationship on it. Have I missed it?
Dancing and singing are not gay-friendly. They might appeal to a particular type of gay man but they aren’t the definition of gay-friendly.
As for Fox News Channel and Fox Entertainment, they are both owned by former Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Mr Murdoch, who’s now approaching 80, has been known to use homophobia to sell newspapers and TV.

@Steve: I don’t know why people keep forgetting that fact. They are two distinct companies that happened to be owned by News Corps. At lot of Fox shows actually routinely take jabs at Fox News. As long as the top bosses keep making money they don’t care.
Chris
it’s all about covering your bases. Fox news panders to conservatives while the Fox network panders to liberals. Everybody’s got something to watch and they get everybody’s dollar.
Smart business plan.

@J. Clarence: It’s true they are separate companies under News Corp, but FOX personalities like Bill O’Reilly instruct viewers all the time to protest MSNBC by sending the mesage the way it counts with a boycott of parent company GE and all of GE’s businesses.
Contemplating responding in kind to those boycott calls does present a bit of a quandary when it comes to FOX Entertainment and a show like Glee that has an out gay creator, some out gay/lesbian performers, out gay guests, out gay characters and attempts to send gay positive messaging.

GE is in the process of selling NBC to Comcast (aka Kabletown for all you 30-rockers).
Guess that means Jack Donaghey will no longer be head of microwave-programming.

Glee – another show that promotes gay stereotypes with one of the nastiest queens in the business running the show…show is tragic and preachy. I’ll be glad when it quickly crashes and burns like his other stuff.
PLAYS WITH OTHERS
@Geoff: The show simply takes all the stereotypes in a typical highschool and magnifiys them, not just the Gay stereotypes. Sure there are stereotypical Gay themes. Murphy also interjects positive scenes for the Gay charachters. Like the scene where Kurt comes out to his hypermasculine Father. His Father informed him that he knew when Kurt was three and asked for “proper shoes” and would love Kurt unconditionally no matter what. Then you see the Father bursting with pride as Kurt kicks the field goal right after his Father watches Kurt walk on to the feild saying to himself in a protective way “he’s so little”…………
There are hundreds of agressive, demanding, and forcefull producers in Hollywood. Most are simply called successfull……… Please don’t buy into the homophobic dogma that because Ryan Murphy possesses those same quaiities he is a “nasty queen”

Anybody who asks how Glee is gay has never seen a single episode. This show oozes gayness out of every orfice.

@Geoff: Uh. Did you see the scene where Kurt came out to his father? It was beautiful.

“If you (sic) a man and your over 25 and you don’t eat pussy just kill your self damn it. The world will be a better place. Lol
