* gay nineties television *
Is there any show more perfectly sued for a gay '90s romp than Frasier? But by the time the show was s fal season 2004, TV shows had learned how to have a gay old time.

Even by today's standards, 's a pretty posive pictn of a gay character -- there's no ht of hostily om Frasier, asi om the awkwardns about havg been on a date wh his boss.
Given how other shows of the time prented homosexualy as a crisis, that this episo don't treat like a big al is self a big al. There was John Waters' aspiratnal character on The Simpsons, a popular gay gut character on Married wh Children, and South Park's Big Gay Al (who is plited and problematic, I know).
