The Queer Soluion and other things
Stupid blogger not letting me post all today, grr. Anyways The queer solution, personally i thought it was an attack against homesexuals at first. But after reading it I realized that it was actually showing how gay people are discrimnated against. I have always liked Will and Grace as well as friends, but once I thought back to how they viewed gender roles I realized that they were actually making fun of those roles. Like on Friends Ross's ex-wife i forget her name and her lesbian lover raise Ross's son together. Now while on the outside it may seem that NBC is showing lesbian couple in a positive light once you watch how the other cast members react and talk about the lesbian couple they are actually being made fun of on numerous occasions. This is to a lesser extent on Will and Grace I think. Will is a gay lawyer and while he may sometimes play the steroetypical gay man oftentimes you would never tell he is gay. Jack on the other hand is flamboyent, makes overly exaggerated gestures with his hands, and loves talking intimately about shopping. This show has some stereotypes not because Jack but Grace, she plays the traditional women gender role. She runs a interior design firm, is nervous, is waiting for "her perfect man" to come along and make her happy and she cannot solve problems on her own many times. Personally my view on gay people is that they are just like everyone else. They work, they date, they raise children. They are just like us in every way shape and form except for the fact that instead of being romantically involved with the opposite sex they prefer the same sex and thats it! A person's personally life should be theres only and no one elses. Again sorry for the late post but either blogger was down or my computer just was not working. Now I'm off to work on my paper for next week! Fun stuff.....
