The show loved droppg ltle gay hts about Chandler. In that season 1 episo, after his iends all tell him that he has a gay “qualy, ” Chandler fds his worker so he n make sure she knows he’s not gay.

It’s another example of wrg gay, playg straight. But if Chandler had been gay — wrten gay, played gay — would the show have been funnier? Ross terpts Chandler’s flirtg and tell him he should be gay.

HABACN Y ALQUILER GAY EN CHANDLER

It’s sentially that Chandler’s gay, which was also the punchle the first scene wh his worker, and the scene wh his iends, and the other scene wh his worker. That joke — ’s jt funny for someone to be was gay — seems to be the only gay joke Friends wants to tell. Homosexualy n be funny!

For example, Stt Thompson on Kids the Hall, and gay ic Bob Smh.

But Friends even seems to go out of s way to avoid any other gay joke. It would have been a huge tone if the creators of Friends had gone ahead and ma one of the iends gay. It was such a popular show — if uld pel lns of Amerins to change their hairstyl, image what might have done to public attus about homosexualy.

Seattle-based journalist Matt Bme, however, believ the show uld have end very differently if the creative team’s origal plans for Chandler, played by Matthew Perry, had been a new vio report, Bme ― who is the thor of the 2015 book “Defg Marriage” and the host of “Culture Cise, ” an acclaimed YouTube seri ― lv to thly sourced but persistent reports that the creators of “Friends” had tend for Chandler to be a gay man, but changed him to a straight character after Perry was st.

Why did other character’s thk chandler was gay? The episo where everybody thks chandler is gay (i thk the one where ross and monis grandma di twice) is the 8th episo of the first season.

Maybe bee he was datg Janice at the start of the seri but i never felt like any of chandlers characteristics ma him seem gay. But every other character says there’s somethg about him that mak him seem gay.
