Well, thank you for that very informative post. So I guess I shouldn't be offended at the characters on the show since they are played by gay men. I should be offended that they are such shitty characters.

I like Queer Eye. I think Carson is adorable in his comments and mannerisms. He's effeminate but he's real. I love the commedian Ant. Have you seen his show? He goes all across America talking to gay people he finds in the most unlikely of places. He would hardly be mistaken for a straight guy, and in his comedy routine he really plays up his fem mannerisms, but still he's very real. These guys, wether they are gay or straight, are playing these characters like over the top stereotypes but not for comedic effect. Unless that was the point and I just missed it entirely. Is it supposed to be a big joke?
