When Mutchnick and Kohan wrote the pilot, they jt foced on the Will and Grace two creators named the show Will & Grace based on a ncept the Jewish philosophy book I and Thou by Mart Buber, which he says that one needs the "will" to go after the prence of the Eternal and the "grace" to receive wag to hear about the fate of their show after submtg their pilot script, the two men sent Warren Ltlefield fax listg the box office numbers of The Birdge and My Bt Friend’s Weddg, two h movi featurg gay Hay was at the Sundance Film Ftival Park Cy, Utah when a work stg executive faxed him the pilot script for Will & Grace after seeg him Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss.
I don’t re what your stance is on homosexual marriage, gay rights, or whether or not same-sex relatnships are sful, everybody should be able to agree that what “Grace” Universy is dog is certaly NOT grac. In 2012, former Vice Print Joe Bin ced the NBC s Will and Grace as a reason for Ameri's "evolvg" attu on homosexualy 2012: "I thk Will and Grace probably did more to te the Amerin public than almost anybody has ever done so far. Broadst televisn the early 2000s was a powerful form of reprentatn wh work UPN and s Ain-Amerin geared programmg, diverse soaps like telenovela adaptatn Ugly Betty, and y, ss like Will and show, starrg a gay man and his straight female roommate, at least partially managed to te straight people on the ia that there's more than one type of gay person—albe rich, whe, affluent on.
There was Jack, the flamboyant one most people assumed gay men to be; then there was Eric McCormack's Will Tman, the mundane, everyman that tght straight people their next-door neighbor uld be gay. As portrayed by Megan Mullally, Karen was the boozy, outspoken bch of the NBC s, often ed as a gay male surrogate the way that the women of Sex and the Cy uld often be.
IS THERE GRACE FOR GAY PEOPLE? APPARENTLY NOT…
If the show were beg st now, Eric McCormack spects he wouldn't land the role of gay lawyer Will Tman - and that would be jt fe wh him." name="scriptn * grace gay *
Much has been ballyhooed about whether Jack's feme, theatre-lovg, melodramatic portrayal did a disservice to gay men as the one mastream reprentatn on televisn. The stereotyp are nstantly nonted by seri like RuPl's Drag Race and films like Moonlight, but there are still gay men who prefer to date a "mascule" man, one who do not project to the world like a Bat signal that he's a homosexual. If Karen were a gay man, would have been a tly revolutnary portrayal and one of the first steps towards fantastilly three-dimensnal characters like T on The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Lafayette on Te Blood.
A much bolr portrayal of Jack would've shown how a brash, no-nonsense feme gay man uld enjoy sex and relatnships jt as anyone exists a long le of female characters wrten by gay men who keep you tung wh their outrageo behavr and snappy one-lers. Ryan Murphy has practilly ma a reer out of the women (Jsi Lange, Nene Leak, Jane Lynch, and Ellen Bark have all portrayed one or many), whereas his gay men tend to be sad, tortured begs like the perpetually sacchare Kurt and Blae on Glee or Fd's pictn of gay actor Victor Buono. Hay, who told gay fans last year he "owed them a huge apology for g out too late, " is now an openly gay man who has an ia of what 's like to fully embrace your sexualy 2017.

If Will & Grace were beg st for the first time today, Eric McCormack nces, "I probably wouldn't get anywhere near this role"'s bee McCormack is straight, and this era of diversy and thenticy stg would be a bold, perhaps even foolish, cisn to st anyone but a gay actor a seri that puts the character's sexualy ont and he'd be out of a job this hypothetil scenar, the first "gay" man many middle Amerins weled to their hom is OK wh that. "I thk wasn't a terrible thg 1998 that a straight guy played the role, but I'm glad that tim are changg, and I'm glad that nowadays a Will Tman would probably be st wh someone who is gay, " he says. The 2006 study, nducted by Edward Schiappa, Peter Gregg and Dean Hew, was groundbreakg not for s ncln but bee disvered how prejudic were big news, acrdg to Schiappa, was this fdg, quoted om his study: “For those viewers wh the fewt direct gay ntacts, exposure to Will & Grace appears to have the strongt potential fluence on rcg sexual prejudice, while for those wh many gay iends, there is no signifint relatnship between levels of prejudice and their exposure to the show.
” Schiappa, the head of Comparative Media Studi at MIT, explaed over email, “That is what persuad that exposure to gay men on televisn was functng the same manner as terpersonal ntact.
Probably the bt episo of the first season was "Will Works Out" where Will is terrified that one of his clients would fd out he was gay, and his own ternal homophobia shone through when he lled Jack a "fag.

Prr to that, there had been a smatterg of gay characters a handful of seri, though they were always a supportg role—and often they befell some great tragedy while any realistic pictn of a love life was avoid at all sts.
The characters were GINOs—Gay Name Only—and ually only when me time to die of when Will & Grace h the air, fally there were two gay men who did not pretend to be anythg other.

GRACE GAY FOUND 142 PEOPLE FLORIDA, GEIA AND 37 OTHER STAT
One of the first work seri to regularly feature homosexual characters, Will & Grace was a top-rated h for most of s 1998-2006 n on NBC, wng an Emmy Award for Outstandg Comedy Seri and more trophi for all four members of the ma st. When Will & Grace premiered 1998, was downright revolutnary that a major broadst work would air a primetime show which two of s four ma characters (Will Tman and Jack McFarland) were openly gay men. After he saw the Will & Grace pilot 1998, Deamer says he felt "chagred, embarrassed, and vastated" when he realized that the character based on him was picted as "flamboyantly gay, nstantly over the top, promiscuo, and irrponsible.
In an terview wh Gay Star News, Hay revealed that an attempt to lm the star's nerv durg a table readg of the script, he started "praisg her" to which she sarstilly rpond "Thank you.

Only once before had a gay man been a central character an Amerin s, and not only was the lead character “Love, Sydney” (played by Tony Randall) eply the closet, but his sexualy was only hted at that seri’ two-season n. McCormack relled that, before st members met wh televisn crics for the first time 1998, they had a “big meetg” wh work executiv which they were told “don’t play up the gay too much” bee NBC execs “were aaid of Ameri not tung right om the begng. ”In 2012, then-Vice Print Joe Bin me out favor of gay marriage — before Print Barack Obama and three years before the Supreme Court ma legal — and said, “I thk ‘Will & Grace’ did more to te the Amerin public more than almost anythg anybody has done so far.

GRACE (GAY) BOGARD, OBUARY
Its central uple wasn’t a will-they won’t-they romance, but a fiercely close iendship between gay lawyer Will (Eric McCormack) and his straight bt iend Grace (Debra Msg).
FAY OF JOSEPHE GAY RELEAS STATEMENT
It’s been creded wh shiftg a natn’s nscns toward greater tolerance of gay people, as Joe Bin said 2012 when g out support of gay marriage, and nmned for perpetuatg tired stereotyp, as some crics have been sayg for years.
While the show had earned much acclaim and many viewers over the years, also drew backlash for what some lled dulgence of stereotyp (pecially regardg Jack’s more flamboyant characterizatn) and bluntly sensive jok (pecially regardg anyone who wasn’t a whe gay man). Right om the jump, the show leaned to the fact that McCormack’s square-jawed Will seems exactly like the kd of leadg man viewers were ed to seeg on ss, explog that faiary to add more impact to the fact that Will is gay, and the most important woman his life is the bt iend he ed to date llege before he realized as much.

The Philalphia Inquirer, for example, heartily remend the show — unr a headle that simultaneoly breathed a sigh of relief that was about “iendship, not the gay liftyle. Even if you put asi the qutnable “gay liftyle” distctn, this scriptn fails to take to acunt that Will & Grace’s backbone is a very specific kd of close iendship that n’t be divorced om s participants’ sexuali.
“The bond between gay men and straight women is often treated as a punchle, ” says Carlos Maza, a longtime Will & Grace fan, Vox multimedia producer, and self-scribed “gay wonk. Kathleen Bryant, who’s 17 years old and intifi as a lbian, told me she found Will & Grace rens on TV when she was younger and creds wh showg her a world which beg gay wasn’t a problem, but jt an trsic part of life.
