IS MICHAEL MCKEAN GAY?

As much as some voic the field of munitn and ter have speculated if Michael McKean is gay, there is no kd of evince that n rroborate this. However, you n still fd dividuals who say Michael McKean is gay, but their ments have no nsistency or accuracy of any kd. More and more celebri adm every year that they are gay, but this is not the se wh Michael McKean sce this celebry never said so.

Celebri such as Michael McKean haven't admted they're homosexual, this is sce they're fely not gay or sce they're and do not want to go public. Vooxpopuli manag thoands of famo celebri and 's possible we missed some tails about the qutn - Is Michael McKean gay? In fact, the most dated thg about Bt Show is, at least for me, my reactn to watchg for the first time on DVD some 17-18ish years ago—specifilly my reactn to the film’s gay uple, Stefan (Michael McKean) and Stt (John Michael Higgs).

Twenty years ago, Stefan and Stt seemed—to my Southern Baptist, eply closeted, high school self—flamg gay. Hilarly gay.

‘BT SHOW’S’ STT AND STEFAN HAVE GONE OM GROANS TO GAY GOALS 20 YEARS

Upsettgly gay. They seemed jt too gay.

I loved Bt Show way back when I was a cluels “straight, ” and you better believe that Parker Posey’s By Bee meltdown beme a part of my vobulary (how a Parker Posey obssn didn’t tip me off to my own gayns, who knows? But I hadn’t rewatched Bt Show a while before my hband put on and he, like I, both me to a realizatn: Stefan and Stt are nowhere near as ~*¡GAY!

Dpe beg played by two straight actors a movie directed by a straight man, there’s somethg so te about the gay experience how Stefan and Stt teract. In retrospect, ’s Stefan’s acceptg rponse to Stt that rids Bt Show of any gay panic, any “aren’t gays ridiculo? Twenty years ago, this scene played as, “Haha, the gays are so extra.

Today, you realize that Stt and Stefan aren’t jt a silly, over-the-top gay uple.
