And in the case of Will & Grace, gay people are allowed to have shows that suck too, right? I went to see Brokeback Mountain, and the ticket guy lowers his voice and says, "You do know what it's about, right?" like I've never had a ticket guy warn me that a movie's going to be extremely violent, or sexually exploitive (which would be nice, to be informed of its selling points), or outright sucks, but I get the sotto voce warning because a movie has two guys who love each other? Not that it isn't entirely realistic that this is what Tony's attitude would be, but the same-sex marriage debate was so divisive up here in Canada, because two guys getting married meant lots of straight God-fearing Canadian men stopped loving their wives as much, if I understood their arguments correctly.
