Is Kelsey Grammer Gay? Frasier, above all, found s strength showg how homophobia and ignorance n be a source of humour, rather than queer people themselv.

“It never occurred to me that you might be gay, ” says Frasier. Not surprisg, nsirg that was wrten and directed by gay men – novelist Joe Keenan and director David Lee rpectively. Rather than reactg wh abject terror or hostily, characters barely batt an eyelid to Duran beg gay.

It might not sound revolutnary now, but treatg homosexualy as no big al was, well, a huge al at the time. Moreover, the humour of the episo don’t e om Duran beg gay, nor do e om Frasier beg assumed gay – ’s om Frasier’s own enarg oblivns to what’s gog on.

Of urse, Frasier was no way perfect and, at tim, did treat beg gay as an obstacle.

A weird trend 90s ss was the ‘gay dream’ plot – this se, Frasier fac an ternal crisis as he has a homo-erotic dream about a male -worker. But always buckg expectatns, the episo don’t see Frasier wrtle wh fear about maybe beg gay – he’s stead ready to hontly nsir the possibily. In a sly mentary on fan and cric reactn to Frasier’s we-sippg, Opera-attendg character, he even adms that he certaly “seems” gay.

Anyway, gay ski stctor Guy (Jam Patrick Stuart) is among the group pg over one another – he’s got for Nil.

KELSEY GRAMMER TALKS TEA PARTY, GAY MARRIAGE

It was the show’s fal episo to engage wh queer them and after years of flirtg wh clich, Frasier flirts wh a gay person. Frasier spects Roz’s new partner, Barry, is gay bee he nforms to gay clich and, an unsettlg effort to out him, unknowgly go to a queer bar.

The pair h off as Alistair was himself outed as gay the past and v him to a party – a flirtat iendship blossoms as Frasier absolutely admir Alistair, but Frasier hasn’t que, well, e out as straight to him yet. Yet, Frasier don’t re that people thk he’s gay, pecially as he gets to be close proximy to his in. Of urse, Frasier realis that he read Barry as gay based on outdated, homophobic clich and clean to Alistair, acknowledgg his own hypocrisy.

He assumed Barry was gay for the same reasons people often assume he is, yet neher are gay as neher fd the same genr attractive – realisg that there is more to beg queer than simply “seemg” . I'd heard plenty of tim that Mahoney was gay but not officially out: Sometim the story was he had a partner.

"But no such acunt om Dan Butler or David Hy Pierce, two gay men who knew Mahoney om workg together on Frasier. A story was passed along to me that he once stopped talkg to a iend the 1980s for divulgg he was gay. I have keen gaydar and an good ear for celebry gossip.
