is gay like other posters have said, why in the world would he stereotype his fellow gay men? :~ Should no one ever portray a gay man as flamboyant lest they be accused of stereotyping? Even though some gay men are in fact flamboyant? It simply does not make sense to me.Īgain, NOT judging you… not sure where that even came from. Seriously Rans? 8) I’m not judging you, I’m arguing the point of whether or not Ron and Co. Well then I guess you have a new character to enjoy on the show! And even if he was, I wouldn’t mind, because it exists. He’s not smacking his lips or switching his hips, he is just a dude who loves to look good. I just don’t think that it is stereotyping if it exists. I know gay men that act more feminine than me. I know gay men that act like straight dudes.
Felix gay bar boston tv#
The only gay people I see that act like Felix on the ones I see on TV ,so the audience knows that the character is a homosexual. I think it’s fine to have someone like him on tv, and I don’t think it’s offensive. I know not all gay men are like Felix, but some are. Again, I do understand where you are coming from. I know a couple of gay men in real life that are extremely flamboyant. My friend of 40 years that is gay is a sitting judge and doesn’t let a crease in his slacks send him into a tizzy. The only gay people I see that act like Felix are the ones I see on TV ,so the audience knows that the character is a homosexual. Help me, how is it stereotyping, if there are gays that act like him? Would be considerate if you did the same. 3) Similarities, that’s all it’s meant to be IMO.Īnd i’m not JUDING you for YOUR opinion. To me tptb are trying to remind us of Lucy and her past friend who died of AIDS… Lucy’s flamboyant friend much like Sabrina’s flamboyant friend Felix. Why is it stereotyping to portray Felix as some gay men really are? There’s nothing wrong with that IMO. Too easy to write a stereotypical character then to write a man, that happens to be gay.īut there are men out there like Felix, not all gay men are as you call them “any other man”. There is not question of their sexuality, yet they aren’t carrying lipstick and worrying about the creases in their pants etc. I would prefer to showcase a gay man as like any other man. I still think stereotyping is not necessary to let the audience know that Felix is gay.įor those that find him funny and quirky, that’s your opinion.
