The 2014 Key & Peele sketch “Gay Weddg Advice” centers around the Johnsons, a black fay preparg for a relative’s upg gay weddg. While pokg fun at an ignorant hoehold’s well-tentned attempts to support the marriage of a gay relative, the sketch skillfully criqu both the nuclear fay stcture and the popular stereotyp associated wh queer inty.
“Gay Weddg Advice” begs wh Larry Johnson, played by Jordan Peele, leadg a Johnson fay Q&A. ” In need of “a ltle help wh the particulars of a gay weddg, ” Larry has enlisted the help of Gary, a gay -worker (and not Larry’s iend, as Larry is quick to clarify), to answer the fay’s qutns preparatn for the event. If anythg, Larry’s anx disposn further echo the llective uneass that the Johnson fay feels towards the prospect of a gay weddg, and queerns general.

Once troduced, Gary thanks the Johnson fay for their support of Co Delroy, as seems that they are willg to te themselv about somethg as “crazy” as a gay weddg. Still, Larry’s refal to ll Gary a iend not only suggts that Larry is unfortable wh Gary’s queerns, but also reveals that Larry don’t know many gay people the first place, forcg him to ll on an acquatance to broach this sensive topic. So even before the qutns and answers beg, the first mute of “Gay Weddg Advice” sets up the scenar of a queer man surround by a fay that both fears associatn wh homosexualy and has sparse teractn wh queer people.
While “Gay Weddg Advice” superficially pok fun at the disorientatn ed by queer relatnships wh black fai, the Johnsons’ qutns also reveal the persistence of harmful stereotyp associated wh queer intifitn. Throughout the urse of the Q&A, the Johnson fay’s qutns bee creasgly obte, and the spectator nnot help but empathize wh the Gary as only gay person the room. One might thk that someone who was repulsed by the ia of a queer fay, as so many of the Johnsons are, would also reil at gay entertament.
