We all know what a “gold-star gay” is, and perhaps we’ve laughed a little too hard at the phrase, choking down lukewarm mimosas and soggy reheated Eggs Benedict, hoping we’re living the dream, or are at least dream-adjacent.

But what exactly is a “platinum-star gay”? Well, that’s a screamingly funny horse of a different color. In this newly-released Will & Grace clip, Jack (Sean Hayes) zippily “gaysplains” why he’s a “platinum-star gay,” effortlessly bringing us to our knees with his saucy wit and unapologetic insouciance.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

The character and actor are insufferable Uncle Toms.

A lot like gay dating apps! Thousands are not half as witty and no anywhere as loyal to anything but themselves. Will is kissing men this reboot. Chill out and stop this pic crap. Stereotypes in many countries and periods of film were never a pint of ridicule. I think the nasty bitchy comments have no humour or humanity. Uncle Tom’? They look very pale to be black.

I would play the clip if not for my unapologetic insouciance.

Considering the show started 20 years ago almost, the new show is doing many things it probably couldn’t then. Will actually smooched a guy on the 2nd episode! Double entendre,Karen seems to be a little nastier. I’m enjoying the new show. Didn’t think I would. There is alot of stereotyping though. But I personally love the screaming queens in movies and TV. I’m sure there are anti gay people who use it negatively against us, unfortunately.
