What gets me is if these two guys were portraying a black couple, everyone would be up in arms. But they’re playing a gay couple, and everyone’s okay with it? The producers must be homophobic anti-gay wackos if they insist on casting straight guys in guys roles. Do they have aroblem with gay actors?.
"The Birdcage" didn't feature typical gays. The bulk of them want nothing to do with monogamy, the monogamous ones are the outliers. It presented a relatively heterosexual version of "gayness", and not an accurate one of the norm.
Threes Company did not have a homosexual in it. He was pretending.
But it came out during a time when homosexuality was far more taboo than it is now. "Three's Company" made it into a joke, and non-threatening while presenting the taboos against it as silly.
It pushed back against the envelope of Bourgeois morality. Do not doubt for a moment that this effect was intended.
They have to normalize this stuff to advance their agenda, and they do so by portraying it as "normal" in movies and other entertainment. They only get away with it because the entire entertainment industry is a monopoly populated and ran by Liberals. Nobody gets to hear an opposing viewpoint or entertainment with an opposing message.
