"GLAAD (The Gay and Lbian Alliance Agast Defamatn) was quick to nmn the dialogue and urged supporters to enurage the stud to remove the phrase om the last week, NBC’s h show “The Office” featured a siar the October 14 episo entled “Sex Ed, ” Michael (Steve Carell) ntracts herp and orrs Osr (Osr Nunez) to his office bee they “once sucked face as part of an office prentatn to stroy the stigma about gay kissg” and now feels Osr may have given him “a sexually transmted disease.

”’s Edor--Chief Amelia McDonell-Parry, who told Pop Tarts prevly that “The Dilemma” gay joke was ‘lame’ and subsequently appropriate given the current social climate, don’t believe “The Office” should be pared to the film. She said the show has an ongog theme portrayg Carell’s character is awkwardly appropriate when to the homosexualy of his employee, Osr. Though he often mak jok and appropriate or ignorant remarks about Osr beg gay -- cludg on this most recent episo -- 's Michael, not Osr, who the dience is really lghg at.

“Couple that wh the fact that all of the so-lled ‘gay jok’ on ‘The Office’ are far better wrten than the one cheap shot, who's sole msage is that 'gay = lame, ' ‘The Dilemma’ and you have a clear cut se of not the same at all. ”So what is and isn’t acceptable by Hollywood standards when to “gay” jok?

“Our society has entered a lite terrory when to mg edy om gay characters and suatns.

“Gay Wch Hunt” (Season 3, Episo 1).

This is the episo where we fd out that Osr is gay. Stream "Gay Wch Hunt" on Netflix.

Which means there are only a few more chanc to spend time wh Osr Martez, one of the most tertg gay characters on (played masterfully by straight actor Osr Nunez) got a lot of buzz back 2006, when he me out the Season 3 episo "Gay Wch Hunt. " At the time, he was one of the only openly gay characters on work TV.

THE OFFICE’S GAY CARITURE

)Thgs have changed sce then, of urse: Now there are gay characters appearg regularly on The New Normal, Morn Fay, Go On and Glee–not to mentn ble seri like Te Blood, Nurse Jackie, and Amerin Horror Story.

I love this storyle not only bee 's meaty, but bee 's not specifilly about Osr beg gay. It's not about Big Gay Them.

That's somethg to cheer: On The Office, beg gay is un-special enough that we n fet about entirely sometim.
