As for Will & Grace, I may as well weigh in. I hate it. I'm gay and find it sort of offensive to watch two straight men act like gay men. Something about it rubs me the wrong way. It's the new version of "blackface" in show business, getting heteros to play homos as stereotypically as possible while homos are eternally kept in the broadway chorus lines. Show me a show about REAL gay lives and maybe I'll be interested. And, no, don't get me started on Queer As Folk...
Andrew, Hi and welcome, I have been enjoying your young fresh outlook on Joni. However, my brother, I too am gay and would find it limiting to say that only queers may play queers - as should str8 actors play only str8 roles. Imagine how many out of work queers we would have! LOL! I know it would be nice to get the best perspective but that's up to a producer to find the best artist for a role without choosing by sexual orientation. And it would be hard in one show to tell how all gay folk live, because we are as diversified as the str8 world - although we do have or own little traditions and culture, which is kind of cool. But the world is now a melting pot and we must go in the mix as well and with pleasure as we become more and more a part of the mainstream as glacierally slow as it sometimes seems. ;-) I happen to agree with you on QAF - I think it sucks - well except for Sharon Gless!
