‘FULLER HOE’ NEEDS TO EMBRACE ITS GAY KID CHARACTER ASAP

I’m talkg about Max Fuller, the eight-year-old middle child of DJ Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure), a character that was almost one of the youngt (or possibly the youngt) gay kid TV history.

Instead, Fuller Hoe created a ltle kid that lets them make all sorts of gay jok whout actually givg the show’s gay dience (which most fely has, nsirg jt how massive a h the show is) any reprentatn.

So that brgs me to my next pot: is ludicro for me to pontifite about whether or not a 9-year-old actor is gay or not. I will addrs naysayers and head-shakers and say that, gog om personal experience, I knew that I was gay when I was 9 (my massive csh on Jurassic Park’s Alan Grant still stands today).

My hband knew he was gay when he was 9.

CHILD STAR STGGLED TO E OUT AFTER PLAYG ‘THE GAY KID’ ‘SCHOOL OF ROCK’

Most gay men I’ve met have always known, even if they didn’t really know until way later life (I fally me out to myself at 21). Twenty-somethg years ago, I was a gay kid.

I n regnize Max Fuller as a gay kid character. The tratg thg, the whole reason I’m wrg this article, is bee Fuller Hoe regnized him as a gay kid, too–and I don’t jt mean hts or affectatns, although there’s plenty of that.

There was a fun, show-stoppg, hilar, out and proud gay kid character on Fuller Hoe of all plac, until there wasn’t. Gay relatnships are too mature, too plited, and too dirty for TGIF. Gay relatnships aren’t jt sex.

And even though all of those thgs are a part of our gay liv, they are almost never seen pop culture. Gay people get to be funny adults on TV, or sexy adults on ble, or tortured adults movi, and ad adults all of the above.

We fet that there are also gay kids, who are also kids, who do kid thgs like hang up posters of pop stars their bedroom and pass not to their csh homeroom (or do they text now? This is so important bee gay people are told repeatedly, sometim by their own fai, that their love is not appropriate for kids. That’s an ia we have to fight agast, and an all-ag smash h like Fuller Hoe cludg a gay kid would be a big help.

GAY BOYS

Fuller Hoe n do the same thg, and we are way more aware today that there are gay kids gog through some heavy stuff.

Gay kids watch Fuller Hoe, as do the parents of gay kids–cludg parents that love their gay kids and parents that are worried about their gay kids.

The amount of good seeg a posive portrayal of a gay kid, one loved unndnally by TV’s most hug-prone fay, uld do is immeasurable. Now s fourth season, the next-generatn Full Hoe surprised many when recently troduced Casey, a gay iend of Kimmy Gibbler's dghter, and hted OG character Stephanie Tanner is bisexual.

‘A FAY LIKE OURS’: PORTRAS OF GAY FATHERHOOD

"Nicholas Fascelli, one of Fuller Hoe's two gay wrers, spoke to about the show's rabow addns and Cameron Bure's Advote: Tell how the Casey character me about.

As a (wrers') room we were very nsc that our show was set San Francis and yet our characters have yet to engage wh the gay muny a meangful way. But a gay kid on the show was very important to did you rm the character as a gay wrer on the seri?

How gay n this kid be on Fuller Hoe? Love, Simon gay?
