Should Gay Characters "Act" Gay?

[EddMarkStarr]

Right from the first episode I had problems with "Where the Bears Are". Again, here we are in 2015 and yet again I see "Gay" men behaving like Nathan Lane clones.

Nathan Lane is not the definitive example of Gayness. I think the shows many fans are waay too willing to accept the low standards this show exemplifies.

Or maybe I'm just being a prick.

We all like pricks here.

Nathan Lane clones are funnier. It's the 'gay' that most people know, and, sadly, it's what most people expect.

1. That´s a shitty serie.

2. Some gay characters should act gay, some should not, just like in the real world.

funny enough i have seen many series which are gay oreinted but i kind of like this, its actually funny.

I do understand your frustration and see where you are coming from with this.

Like many comedies I've seen in years past, season two of "Where The Bears Are" has smoothed out many of the ruff patches I saw in season one. Funny comes in many varieties, guess I was wanting something smarter.

If Gay Characters "Act" Gay then they are just playing into the stereotype. Just like their are diverse people, so should there be Gay Characters that do not "Act" Gay.
