TOM HOLLAND’S GAY SEX SCENE THE CROWD ROOM DEFEND BY FANS
The gayt s of the may not have been 'Ellen' or 'Will & Grace.' * 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. I love those shows, but 's disappotg how poorly they age -- the characters are clearly homophobic, regardg queerns as weird at bt and a threat at worst. After seeg Mil panic and ll gay people abnormal, I found myself wishg Murphy Brown had been better than that.
THE GAY NETI REVUE

Frasier, on the other hand, probably aired more affirmg gay episos than any other primetime show until Ellen and Will & Grace. It started wh a 1994 episo entled "The Matchmaker, " which Frasier's gay boss thks they're on a date.

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.
THE GAY NETI REVUE
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). In 1998, Frasier aired an episo lled "The Ski Lodge" which nobody seems particularly troubled when a gay character pursu Nil. ) Post-Ellen, TV started to make queer storyl more mastream, wh gay characters beg so monplace that there was no one way they were picted.
