Very funny as well. This is an odd but entertaining thread

I'm curious....I'm "one" myself....what is your objection to the use of the word "one" in the poster's reply?

reply

I think it's the fact that instead of just saying "he is", when you say "he is one", the "one" implies an otherness, as opposed to the status quo of being straight in our heteronormative society. In any case, as far as gay people being oppressed, hearing "he is one" could be seen as a small jab, like the attempted reinforcement of the exclusivity of gay people in "regular" society.

He's a gay. But he's one of the cool ones. He's acts pretty normal.

I know you said this some time ago, but I just started watching the show - VERY funny comment.

reply

Not that it matters (Neil Patrick Harris is "one" and plays straight characters), but yes, his character is gay.

He actually doesn't come off as that gay with the Billy on the Street series IMO.

But yes, on the series, he is gay and plays gayer than real-life.

Who cares if he's playing a gay character? What I want to know is, are they still shooting him in perpetual profile to camouflage his wonky eye? I wonder if he wishes real life only exposed his good side? Ha! "Good side!" Like he's Barbra Streisand.

Yeah, but he really doesn't like other gay men for anything other than sex. He tries, but no.

reply

Do you mean on the show? The entire premise of the show is that Billy feels contempt for everyone but Julie and vice versa.

reply

Are you kidding? How could you not know that his character is gay? Or have you not watched the show??
