That controversial interview with Noah Galvin

Here's the original article - http://www.vulture.com/2016/06/noah-galvin-has-nothing-to-hide.html

I'm guessing TVguide and other media sites have published snippets, but I find that, with controversial statements, it's best to read them in their proper context. That being said, I can understand why some have found what he said upsetting. Our current culture, and especially our current media landscape, is characterized by a sort of hypersensitivity. Do I agree with all that Noah said in his Vulture interview? Not necessarily, but I found it a very enjoyable read. After all, it's rare to read something so unflinchingly honest.

So he was unsatisfied by the choices Colton Haynes made in coming out. So what? If the process Colton chose worked for Colton, that should be all that matters. Why is disagreement or criticism automatically problematic? As for Bryan Singer, he's been dodging accusations of pedophelia since the 90s.

Here's an article that briefly runs down Singer's history with those sorts of allegations - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bryan-singer-sex-abuse-case-699828

Now, could every single one of those allegations be false? Sure, anything's possible. But this multi-millionaire/ A-List director is hardly some delicate flower in need of protection from a few off-hand comments made by a 22 year old actor on a sitcom.

And finally, Eric Stonestreet. He seems like a lovely man, and I enjoy Modern Family, but can anyone make a case that what Noah said was untrue? Cam's a complete stereotype, and Cam and Mitch's relationship is a joke. Noah's right in asserting that Kenny's a more well-rounded character who will mostly likely have more realistic experiences. Heck, he's already gotten more action in 13 episodes than Cam and Mitch have gotten in 7 seasons.

But I digress. I enjoyed reading Noah's interview in Vulture and am looking forward to the second season of The Real O'Neals. I'll save my ire for an actual crisis.

bryan singer NEEDS to be called out.
apart from that, noah comes off as a self-hating douche. this is not tea time with you fave gay bfffff.
i'm worried the show will be dropped now he offended the big guns in the business. that interview will hurt the little career opportunity he had, especially since there are not so many options for openly gay actors in hollywood (where are the glee stars now for example?).
shame. i can't imagine what he would need to do in order to get this fixed. stars even huger than him are supposed to ben over (literally) for career opportunities. sad sad sad.

ABC considered cutting the comedy’s Season 2 episode order as quasi-punishment for Galvin’s incendiary Vulture interview...

one of the show’s exec producers begged the network not to take action...

this wasn’t Galvin’s first run-in with ABC brass. The network reportedly warned him on multiple occasions about his “ego” and sense of “entitlement.”

Hardly a controversy if only gay people are talking about it. The show isn't funny so they can fall back on this kid killing the show when it really killed itself.

Dan Savage talks the same way as this kid does. He wrote that all black people should be called the N word among many other nasty things against many types of people.

I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I agree with some of his comments, like the ones about Cam on Modern Family, whom I also think is an embarrassing stereotype. On the other hand, Noah is playing into that stereotype with his bitchy attitude. He comes across as having a major attitude for someone so young and inexperienced. And apparently, he's a pain in the ass on set, too.

He's not a very appealing actor or character. If he's that difficult, they should replace him - I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find someone more likeable.

Jesus... He comes across like a real *beep* with a huge chip on his Shoulder. I wonder what he'll be like when his youthful looks fade? He needs a reality check. He is replaceable in a sea of younger more talented actors waiting to scoop up parts.

What I find funny is that he's talking crap about Cam being a stereotype on Modern Family when Kenny is the biggest, gayest stereotype on tv. The only thing that makes it ok is because Noah is gay? *beep* His flamboyant character is over the top... but that's ok because he's a real gay actor. Sorry... but Cam is comedic gold. Learn your place.
