REVISG THE FIRST-EVER GAY EPISO OF THE SIMPSONS

* i simpson homer gay *

Cult in John Waters was the first openly gay character on The Simpsons, and the show's treatment of him signaled a tidal shift Amerin TV. When a character was referred to as gay, the figure qutn almost always played as tragic or, more often, herently il.

The Simpsons mocked almost everythg (except Scientology) s Goln Age, but unlike most ss of the time, the seri didn’t treat s first openly gay character as a walkg joke.

A number of people have been intified as (or implied to be) lbian, gay, bisexual or transgenr (monly abbreviated LGBT). * i simpson homer gay *

Beg gay was, and of self, seen as a punchle even for progrsive televisn of the ‘80s and early ‘90s, and few shows were terted challengg this.

However, the show was still subject to work censorship and, although the star of Ellen me out as a lbian two months later, “Homer’s Phobia” was one of the first attempts to break down the visible barrier faced by gay characters. While no one explicly stated that any characters were to be stereotyped, was all-but-unheard of for a character like John, who was picted as charmg, lm, and genial, to be gay. The Simpsons rarely ma small-town Sprgfielrs the villas of the story, but this stance, turng Homer to the bad guy led Amerin dienc to intify wh a sweet, likable character who happened to be gay over the regnizable s dad they were ually expected to love and see as herently harmls spe his prejudice.

However, “Homer’s Phobia” picked Waters not bee of his fame but bee his public image reprented the perfect tersectn between all-Amerin manners and the more outre, unfaiar aspects of queer culture, mp, and the gay experience. Castg Waters as a level-head, kd, and unrstandg face of the LGBTQ+ muny allowed The Simpsons to celebrate mp, queer culture, and outsir art whout makg the character himself a stereotype or offensive riture of what was perceived as “gay. In ntrast, anyone unfaiar wh the director’s ovre got a funny, self-pretg look to LGBTQ+ culture a story where beg gay was neher a joke to lghed at, or an odd spectacle to be leered and jeered at.

HOMER THE GAY

The first gay episo of The Simpsons, entled 'Homer's Phobia', featured a character played by queer filmmaker John Waters. * i simpson homer gay *

Waters had a sense of humor about John and ma him a funny figure whout treatg his gayns self as a joke. The fact that his character The Simpsons was both mp and ol pared to Homer and pany’s “normal” and nrotic reactn to him was one of televisn’s first attempts to see homophobia as the exceptn and not the norm. A number of people have been intified as (or implied to be) lbian, gay, bisexual or transgenr (monly abbreviated LGBT).

The groundbreakg episo featured a character played by queer filmmaker John Waters and an famo scene set a gay steel l. I was remd recently that was the anniversary of the first-ever gay episo of The Simpsons, ‘Homer’s Phobia’ (Season 8, Episo 15, se you want to revis ) airg Ameri. Not admtg that he is homophobic, he ratnalis his reactn by sayg wasn’t bee John was gay, but bee he was a sneak about , statg, “I like my beer ld, my TV loud, and my homosexuals fuh-lamg”.

Usually, The Simpsons scripts would receive small censorship not, but ‘Homer’s Phobia‘ rulted three pag worth, and many of them were about thgs beg gay or the very e of the word. I recently learned that the show’s staff asked John Waters if the gay muny would fd The Simpsons episo offensive. However, when Marge tells Homer that John is a homosexual, Homer eaks out and, fearg that his son will emulate John, tak Bart on a misguid journey to make his son heterosexual.

Bart starts wearg Hawaiian shirts, dancg women's wigs and eatg cupk wh strawberry icg stead of cholate icg; which mak Homer worry that Bart might be gay.
