HBO's "Lookg, " which buted over the weekend, was extremely unual -- a program about and created by gay men. One Mick Stgley published a piece on Esquire's webse tled "The Straight Man's Gui to HBO's 'Lookg'" -- a piece that avails self of sual homophobia and actually rrect facts.

Leavg asi the sympathetic magic by which Stgley imag himself a iend to sportssters si his televisn, the ia that "funny, mcg guys" are somehow better is ludicro on two unts: one, that gay people ought to exist for straight men's entertament even when Stgley himself acknowledg that that entertament generally reli on stereotyp, and two, the e of the credibly d word "mcg.

And why is beg "gay and borg" a s? Ought gay people to be rigur lightfully entertag, forbidn om exprsg any shas of emotn short of mpy glee? Or mt gay people clear a special bar to be worthy of Stgley's nsiratn?
And yet Stgley feels ee to dismiss the show as not worthy of existg, notg that neher picts gay men as "extremely fun and funny" or "starkly sad and prsg, " two mos wh which he is fortable. Michael Douglas has exprsed disda for gay people every time he's picked up an award for beg brave enough to play one. -- very few programs on the air featurg gay characters any pacy, and those that exist tend eher to mdlsly dulge stereotyp (as do the work of Ryan Murphy, when he dulg his worst tennci) or to wkgly announce that this gay guy is different bee he's not a queen (as did the parted, and very good, "Happy Endgs").
