The gayt Frasier far! But when Frasier meets him, he assum the guy is seems pretty funny nsirg how stereotypilly gay many of Frasier's actns are on the show.

When he later se this boyiend and thks he's gone to a gay bar, Frasier soon folks about Seattle thk Frasier is gay and that's why he went to the tablishment. One of the folks who now assum Frasier is gay is Alistair Burke (Patrick Stewart) and stead of rrectg Alistair's assumptn, Frasier pretends to be gay. The great Patrick Stewart plays a gay opera director.

Crane is also gay. The bt are when Frasier go to a gay bar, wearg shorts three siz too small, as he looks for a man who is datg Roz. " This has always irked me that people feel sorry for the gay person who wasted years of someone else's life by lyg to them and pretendg to have feelgs for them they never had, as well as cheatg on them.
