IS EDWARD HIBBERT GAY?

As much as some voic the field of munitn and ter have speculated if Edward Hibbert is gay, there is no kd of evince that n rroborate this. Yet, as often happens wh artists of this field, the mors that Edward Hibbert is gay are persistent, which is surely annoyg.

More and more celebri adm every year that they are gay, but this is not the se wh Edward Hibbert sce this celebry never said so. In any se, celebri too often refe to talk about their private liv, so we never know if they are gay or straight. Regardls of what people may thk, is creasgly mon for people to openly adm to beg gay, even more beg such an important such as artist Edward Hibbert.

Beg a gay viewer 2019, there are optns, honey.

THAT GAY EPISO: ‘FRASIER’ IS GAY COMEDY BY GAY PEOPLE STARRG STRAIGHT CHARACTERS

When I was a young, eply closeted gay the late ’90s, we really jt had two shows: Ellen and Will & Grace, and those two didn’t even overlap on-air. Frasier’s not textually a gay show, but ’s a really gay show–and was pecially gay if you were watchg TV wh your nservative Christian parents Tennsee the mid-’90s. Sure, that’s partly due to the narrow-md nflatn of “cultured” and “gay, ” which is a thg and fely the South’s whole thg.

I knew Frasier was the gayt of shows before I even knew what gay was.

But as “other” as Frasier seemed to me as a middle schooler, there was nothg explicly gay about Frasier. It didn’t even have one recurrg gay character on –asi om the eply closeted, married-to-a-woman Gil Chterton. Friends, a show where two dus refed to even change the channel for days for fear of losg the ee porn that magilly appeared, was actually gayer than Frasier bee of Carol and San!

” In the episo, Frasier the character is prumed gay by a gut gay for all of the same reasons Frasier the show was prumed gay. Of urse he’s gay!

GAY BRISH ACTORS ....

This is where I want to pot out that as perplexgly straight as Frasier was on-screen, was maybe the gayt show of the 20th century off-screen. The show unted gay actors Dan Butler (Bulldog) and Edward Hibbert (Gil Chterton) as recurrg players and David Hy Pierce (Nil) as a seri regular. There’s even plenty of speculatn that John Mahoney, who played Frasier’s gff dad Marty, was gay.

“The Matchmaker” is a first for That Gay Episo bee ’s the very first episo to be wrten and directed by gay men. Both men are openly gay, and very much shows “The Matchmaker” (which is also probably why this episo won a GLAAD award back the era when a show jt had to be gay for one week to w). Like the most inic Frasier episos, this one hg on exactly one major misunrstandg: the new statn manager Tom Duran (a pre-Carole the Cy Eric Lut) thks Frasier is gay and that Frasier asked him out on a date when actualy Frasier is tryg to set up his new boss wh a prsed Daphne (“Me life’s a gapg skhole and I’m jt markg time while the flower of me youth rots on the ve”).

It’s the same kd of misunrstandg that fuels Season 7’s “Out wh Dad”(where Marty gets ught a big gay lie) and there’s even a dash of Season 5’s “The Ski Lodge” (where everyone thks the wrong someone wants to bone them), but those later episos don’t lsen jt how funny this one is. Here’s how you n tell “The Matchmaker” was wrten and directed by gay men: at no pot is Frasier, or anyone for that matter, eaked out by the not-closeted gay man is their midst.
