ABC has a real sick sense of humor:
"It's All Relative" is their new sitcom about 2 gay men as parents.

That's not what's sickly funny.

What is sickly funny is that they are airing it right after "My Wife and Kids", which stars known homophobe Damon Wayans.

Cool. B-) I wonder how Damon feels... :evilgrin:

1. Damon Wayans is a homophobe?
That's unfortunate. Not that I know much about him anyway.

2. Well, as he loves to use homophobia as a basis for comedy...
:-(

He's a funny guy, especially in "In Living Color" (I even liked the gay movie critic sketches!)

http://www.suntimes.com/ebert/ebert_reviews/1996/04/4191.html has a bit about Wayans frequently resorting to homophobic "humor".

http://www.efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=628&reviewer=123 has a small reference to strong use of homophobia-based "humor".

Of course, I may be putting 1+2 together to wrongfully make 4... But I don't know... Carroll O'Connor was a big-time liberal and lots of people decided he was conservative!

3. Scott Thompson of Kids In The Hall was as gay as a goose...

...but he specialised in "homophobic" humour. I think it's because he was really comfortable with his sexuality, tho.

4. Oh, wow, now I've got a Kids in the Hall song in my head...
The skit starred Scott.

Gold star to anyone who guesses the song.

I'm on the first step... I'm on the second step... I'm on the third step...

What will we find on the seventh step... What awaits us on the sixth???...

I know that one starred Scott and Kevin. I'm a HUGE KITH fan.

6. Nope
All five of them are in this skit. I believe it's from the first season.

8. Let's see...
The discussion was of Scott Thompson vis-a-vis homophobic comedy.

This skit is about a true folk hero.
