ABC's New Gay Stereotypes

I was just invited to preview a pilot for a new comedy series from ABC. The show is called Modern Family and it has some of the most offensive stereotypes I've seen in a very long time.

There is a gay couple who adopt an Asian baby. I can't even begin to describe how offensive these characters were. Just looking at them in the photo above makes me want to scream.

They are both stereotypically queeny. Just look at the expression on the face of the one with the beard -- he's force feeding his husband because he's a chubby chaser. Isn't that hilarious?

There is also a Latina character who sounds like she's doing a Speedy Gonzales impression. Her accent is so forced and fake it can't even be called acting. She sounds like Rita Moreno's character from The Ritz, Googie Gomez.

Here's the formula:

* Bitchy blonde mom
* Dorky, half-retarded father
* Fowl-mouthed smart-ass kids
* Slutty teen daughter
* Sexy latina who marries much older man to stay in the country
* Grouchy old husband who married sexy latina
* Queeny gay couple with fabulous decorating skills and Asian baby
* Fat boy with crush on older girl

Most of the other people who reviewed this stinker said that the characters were too stereotypical.

One person wrote: "I'm not ready for gay parents."

If we're going to have gay parents on a TV comedy, they better not be like these disrespectful stereotypes. This is one of the worst portrayals of gay men that I've seen in years. What a step in the wrong direction.
