“As a gay person to tell these stories and to have no questions asked and no notes from network and to feel completely uninhibited in saying, ‘This is a gay couple on TV; they’re going to kiss like any straight couple would’ — it’s amazing. Gay relationships have historically not been treated the same as straight relationships. You don’t see the same kind of sexuality, intimacy, kissing, because it’s been considered taboo or headline-grabbing for so long. I love that we’ve been able to just tell a relationship as it is, as it exists, for me, for my friends, for people I know, for people out in the world, that doesn’t come with a lesson to be learned. It’s just two people loving each other.”— Dan Levy, co-creator and star of the hit comedy series Schitt’s Creek, in an interview with The Star.

Why are most of the TV gay characters acting like a neurotic and flamboyant drama queen? Can’t they just talk and walk like a normal man?
Rex Huskey
amen brother amen!
WillParkinson
Define ‘normal’.

@ HereIAm / CastleSF: That’s strange, I’ve seen this show and I’ve always imagined you talk and walk pretty much like Dan Levy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

@HereIAm I know, right? Because only in your mind lies the true definition of what’s normal. You’re just a citadel of great wisdom. Ignorant, dumb, piss of shi*!!

@HereIAm and why do most Asians run and own dry cleaning businesses and shitty nail salons that are always getting fines for lack of sanitations? Why can’t they just own businesses like real Americans that don’t involve manual labor?

I love this show and this character. I’m so glad he came out!

Love the show, and if you watch it you’d see his bf is just a normal average guy.
HereIAm
That’s the thing. A normal decent gay is not going to be attracted to a neurotic drama queen.

@HereIAm obviously you haven’t met my husband.. We can all find traits in others that might not pass our first “barriers”, but once we get to know them and fall in love, we seem to find a complete indifference, and actual passion for, who they truly are in their honesty. Taking time to get to know a whole person is really a great investment.

@BivisibleGuy HereIAm hasn’t met anyone’s husband, much less found someone who wants to even date him, other than his blow up doll collection.

The world? Seriously, the US is years and decades behind first world countries in this (and other) regard.
