HAHA a dig at Catholics AND gays


The episode with the gay real estate guy, where he says "I'm just not sure... if I'd have said that to Father Murphy I'd be a completely different person now!"

I'm surprised Hollywood took a dig at homosexuals like that... usually they're pandering to them.

You must have been out of town for the last 50 years. Gays & Lesbians have been punished and treated badly in tv shows & movies for decades. Most movies years ago the homosexual person would either kill themselves or go crazy. No one ever supported them. They were also the murderer in plenty of films simply because they were Gay. There's even a book and a documentary of the same name telling about their treatment in Hollywood films called "The Celluloid Closet".

mojo - you got suckered. The OP is an admitted troll. He posts things like these to get reactions from decent people like you. He sucks, you don't.

huh? I posted this because it was funny and controversial on a prime time sitcom.

Sorry. I guess I got you confused with another poster, who frequently likes to post lame topics (and lies) about how Jack Nicholson "told him" he didn't like all sorts of tv shows, movies, etc. Or another poster who likes to post about how heath ledger rhymes with other names. It's kind of hard to know what is serious and what is utter, entirely stupid b.s. when other people with similar names post such stupid topics. Heck, that person admitted they were trolling - I've seen posts from that "other poster" where he tells another person who admitted to being a "troll" that they'll never be as good a troll as shaun3701-1....

It wasn't really a dig at gays, though. At least, not a serious one. You can joke about homosexuality without it being a symptom of bigotry. It's usually a question of tone. Gay people usually know when they're being ridiculed and/or discriminated against--besides, it often turns out that a large part of the comedy involving homosexuality is written by gay writers.

Hollywood always wants us to sympathize with gays and lesbians because Hollywood has such an outrageous liberal bias. The OP is right.

Actually they're constantly joking about pedophile priests, so...not at all.
