Will also mentns the shows "On the Fluffy Si" and "The Hard Qutns", puns on terms "fluffy" (pejorative term for a gay man) and "hard" the sexual ntext.

Jt like the Mooni or the homosexuals or the elrly. I’m gay, I n worry while I’m dancg.

Print Joe Bin—spe airg an era that wouldn’t let two gay men kiss onscreen until s seventh season.

While the seri has ntued to receive cricism for dog ltle to challenge gay stereotyp as well as failg to e s queer characters to properly subvert the typil Amerin relatnship edy, was this very nformy that end up beg subversive jt by cludg gay ma characters to the tradnal s formula.

This was pecially te 1998 and even more so durg the notorly homophobic Bh admistratn, durg which Will & Grace aired the majory of s n. The first season of Will & Grace spends a great al of time tablishg Will (Eric McCormack) as the qutsential straight leadg man, except that he happens to be gay.

As seri -creator David Kohan put at the time, “The procs of self-disvery and the pa most gay men go through is fascatg, but the average Amerin is put off by .

” Th, as far as Season 1 is ncerned, y, Will is gay, but the implitn is that he is much “ls” gay than his flamboyant iend Jack (Sean Hay), whom he enjoys puttg down wh quips about him beg a woman trapped a man’s body. It don’t seem like much the moment, but ’s somethg that realistilly portrays the ep securi that Will, and by extensn many gay men, suffer wh. “Homo for the Holidays” (Season 2, Episo 7).

Ranked by TV Gui as one of the 100 Greatt Televisn Episos of All-Time, “Homo for the Holidays” took one of Will & Grace’s many bold steps and one of the most sential: to clare that beg gay is nothg to be ashamed of. It’s the moment girls and gays everywhere have been wag for: work televisn’s first gay kiss between two men. But like many moments like the, ’s jt queerbag at s ft as the mera pans away om the gay men kissg and onto the fireplace.

”) Will is not shocked, havg accepted the notn that Ameri don’t want to see two gay men kissg, but Jack will not tone down his outrage as this censorship impli that the way he liv his life is offensive.

Matt sists ’s jt bee of the tolerant heterosexist world of sports, but when they n to his boss aga at a rtrant and Matt mak homophobic ments, Will jt n’t keep the chara gog any longer. The scene is impecbly bookend by Jack then enterg the rtrant on a date wh the boss’s son, rercg that, to paraphrase the Mary Tyler Moore theme song, gays are all around. I’m gay, I n worry while I’m dancg” and Rosar (Shelley Morrison) tellg Karen, “You better watch , lady, bee the next time you take a bath ’ll be b-a-dub-dub, I drop the blenr the tub.

In one of the most polilly subversive and unrrated episos of the seri, Will & Grace took on the homophobic Bh admistratn when right-wg nservativ take over OutTV, the work home to Jack’s very own talk show, Jack Talk. The effemate Skip is prumed to be gay by his nservative parents and is beg sent to a nversn therapy mp, somethg Jack n jt not nceive of his son dog.

Also remiscent of the speech Will giv Jack back “Homo for the Holidays, ” we n never fet Andrew Rannells and Jane Lynch’s hilar gut performanc as the nversn mp unselors. Much like the origal seri ially worked overtime at makg Will the perfect straight male lead who happens to be gay, also spent a lot of time patg Grace as a victim Will’s g-out story, reprentg one of the most dated trop Will & Grace repeatedly employed.

Grace and Will’s mother Marilyn (Blythe Danner) are outraged, but Will jt don’t have the energy to keep fightg and fendg himself agast the narrow-md, bigoted outlooks that ntue to persist agast gay men. He ultimately has a long nversatn wh Mart about the state of gay men’s health and why his mdset is harmful, durg which he apologiz and exprs his love for him. Although might not seem all that revolutnary, “Bad Blood” expos a persistg stigma surroundg gay men donatg blood, somethg that is still outlawed most of North Ameri unls the gay man has been celibate for a year.
