Please, please, please, do not let this portrayal be the thing that breaks my love for Nick. There's so much room for things to go wrong with the gay best friend/neighbor/makeover sensei role.

What? You don't like friendly asexuals? This is another bond between the Crip and Gay Communities, Matt. Every time I hear about someone making a disability movie, I'm so torn between "Yay!" and screeching "Honey, no!" like Karen Walker in a dry county.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Everyone's got their own peeve. Mine is the nonexistence of butches in film and tv. And then there's the oversexualization of bisexuals. Ooo! And let's not forget that whole 'size 8 is fat' thing.

Oversexualization is in "If you're bi, you'll do everybody. Or at least let them watch." Right?

Yeah, that's what I meant, anyway.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just like "gay best friend" means, "that's why he isn't in love with the heroine."

Yeah, that one is somewhat irksome - as if finding both genders attractive means that someone has no standards to apply within either gender, and is incapable of being faithful.
I suppose I shouldn't groan before seeing the movie—I have faith in Nick, after all. But the performers don't always get to bring their sensibilities to roles.

This is true...and this discussion? Funny with my current tagline.

You know those peeps in wheelchairs - they can't keep their hands off the detectives.

Brings a whole new meaning to search and seizure...and also Timmy's bi. Every critic in America weighed in on it, too. And that actor had to give about 5,000,000 interviews that went like this:
Interviewer: So, is Bayliss gay?
KS: Not exactly.
I: Straight?
KS: He's bisexual.
I: Really?
KS: Yes, really.
I: Can they show that?
KS: They haven't but they can. Kinda.
I: Are you?
KS: You realize this is my job, right? I don't usually carry a gun, either, irl.
(Lather, rinse, repeat.)
This was sort of like an Omar recap of those interviews, obviously not a transcription.
