When Straight Characters Play Gay to Save the Day

Fauxmosexuals are men who go straight-for-play, whether that play is heroism, punchlines, or getting some ass (from women). Hollywood writers have a history of turning straight characters gay on sitcoms and terrible movies, or whenever there needs to be a terrible joke about maxi pads.

i didn’t mind chuck + larry; i just thought the original aussie film (strange bedfellows) was better.

also, “straight-for-play”? was that a typo?

This is a sign of how bad things have gotten for gay and bisexual men. If the best Hollywood can do is show us as punch-lines or phonies, what hope is there for us? Hollywood is so fucking retarded, it’s not funny.

I partly blame the GLBT community in America for failing to criticize Hollywood homophobia. You’ve been sucked into this idea that Hollywood is on our side when it clearly isn’t.

@TonyD: I’m Asian and gay. That’s triple fucked. The closest Asians being cool in Television are probably George Takei and Ken Jeong.
