THAT GAY EPISO: ‘FRASIER’ IS GAY COMEDY BY GAY PEOPLE STARRG STRAIGHT CHARACTERS
* who is gay on frasier *
Beg a gay viewer 2019, there are optns, honey. When I was a young, eply closeted gay the late ’90s, we really jt had two shows: Ellen and Will & Grace, and those two didn’t even overlap on-air.
Frasier’s not textually a gay show, but ’s a really gay show–and was pecially gay if you were watchg TV wh your nservative Christian parents Tennsee the mid-’90s.

There’s even plenty of speculatn that John Mahoney, who played Frasier’s gff dad Marty, was gay.

“The Matchmaker” is a first for That Gay Episo bee ’s the very first episo to be wrten and directed by gay men.
Both men are openly gay, and very much shows “The Matchmaker” (which is also probably why this episo won a GLAAD award back the era when a show jt had to be gay for one week to w). Like the most inic Frasier episos, this one hg on exactly one major misunrstandg: the new statn manager Tom Duran (a pre-Carole the Cy Eric Lut) thks Frasier is gay and that Frasier asked him out on a date when actualy Frasier is tryg to set up his new boss wh a prsed Daphne (“Me life’s a gapg skhole and I’m jt markg time while the flower of me youth rots on the ve”).
