'GRACE AND FRANKIE' REVIEW: NETFLIX SERI ABOUT GAY HBANDS AND SPURNED WIV IS REMARKABLE
Much has been ballyhooed about whether Jack's feme, theatre-lovg, melodramatic portrayal did a disservice to gay men as the one mastream reprentatn on televisn. It's as much looked down upon the gay muny to be "femme" as is the straight muny. The stereotyp are nstantly nonted by seri like RuPl's Drag Race and films like Moonlight, but there are still gay men who prefer to date a "mascule" man, one who do not project to the world like a Bat signal that he's a homosexual.
