IS STEWIE GAY? ‘FAY GUY’ FALLY ADDRS HIS SEXUALY (AND THAT ACCENT!)
The wrer of Sunday night’s huge episo tak si that accent twist, and go ep to how and why the show fally explored whether Stewie is gay. (Warng: Spoilers!) * gay stewie griffin *
And while he never que out as gay, there is a lot to suggt what an olr Stewie might be facg, or reprsg, when to his sexualy.
I’m not gay.
This whole thg isn’t bee I’m gay, so lm down. If anythg, I’m ls gay than I ed to be, not that anybody this school would re.
IS STEWIE GAY? IS STEWIE GRIFF FROM “FAY GUY” GAY?
Stewie is Gay is a recurrg element Fay Guy, where numero jok and scen imply that Stewie Griff is a closeted (or open) homosexual. The moments turn out to be more than jt jok, as they would soon e to bee part of his character. In later seasons of the show, Stewie's... * gay stewie griffin *
You n make up your own md after listeng to Stewie discs Bethenny Frankel and Haton, and even Seth MacFarlane has talked about why an episo where Stewie out as gay was scrapped years ago.
“Ultimately, Stewie will be gay or a very unhappy reprsed heterosexual. A special episo of Seth MacFarlane's Fay Guy fally dismissed the long-held theory that Stewie Griff is gay.
IS STEWIE GRIFF GAY?
The buzz was that Fox’s Fay Guy would air an episo where toddler character Stewie Griff would e out as gay. In the March 18 episo tled “send Stewie, Please,” Stewie viss his school’s psychologist and tells his troubl the form of monologu and the dience learns some surprisg thgs about the ltle tyke. * gay stewie griffin *
Prchfield's uch revealed that Stewie is fact fluid wh his sexualy, rather than clarg himself strictly homosexual. Speakg to TVLe, wrer Gary Jati explaed his reasong behd the cisn to not make as simple as Stewie beg gay:. Whether he is [gay] or not, that isn't gog to be answered when he's a one-year-old.
While his homosexualy might be explored the future, Stewie remas sexually fluid for the time beg.
STEWIE IS GAY
However, fans were puzzled to learn he isn't technilly gay. Among the nng jok are a homosexual fantasy between Stewie and his bear Rupert.
2005's Stewie Griff: The Untold Story also heavily implied that a future versn of the character would be gay, but 'Send Stewie Please' was the first official nfirmatn that this isn't the se.

Stewie may be a ltle "ls" gay then he was gog to the episo, but he did still fd time to reference that he and The Flash's Grant Gt would make a cute Instagram uple. Not that Fay Guy’s rint smarm factory isn’t most likely gay. Corneli Prchfield, voiced by Sir Ian McKellen, an olr gay Brish man who turns out to be both the perfect foil and talyst for a project for Stewie.
It is so packed of hyper-specific tails relatg to prsure, shame, and elism gay culture that we uldn’t believe we were watchg on Fay Guy.
WA. DID STEWIE JT COME OUT AS GAY ON ‘FAY GUY?’
It’s tertg that the fake accent was revealed this episo bee there’s some real relatable gay psychology gog on there. I thk that a lot of gay people n also intify wh that.
”There’s an emotnal tellect gog on, where Stewie’s hyper-self-aware that thgs he’s sayg might be misnsted for g out as gay. What’s behd that awarens, that his behavr and personaly signals as gayns, and his secury? When he walks to the room, wh a send he intifi that therapist as gay.
GAY GUY OM FAY GUY
Prchfield’s relatnship wh his younger partner has some really specific tails that you almost have to be a member of the gay muny to unrstand the mutiae specific.
I get to mutiae even wh the gay muny, specific wh specific wh specific. He really gets to spread his wgs and go off a way that is so specifilly gay, and now was the time to do .
Seth MacFarlane spoke years ago about how he had once wrten an episo which Stewie out as gay but opted not to n wh bee he’d rather his sexualy rema ambiguo. So ’s not that he’s g out as gay this episo.
