#10 The Two Sides of Homosexual Men

One of the most well known sitcom to reference gay and/or bisexual gay male characters is WILL & GRACE. Jack and Will are the two main gay characters who represent the flamboyant and not-so flamboyant sides of homosexual men. Jack’s sassiness and over the top love for acting and fashion is the stereotypical characteristics of a homosexual. Will on the other hand is a normal, tend to be laid back male who does not come off as a homosexual when first encountered. Majority of the time the media tends to forget "the Wills" that are out there, and judge and stereotype "the Jacks." For example, many comedians that I have seen on TV enjoy to act out in a way Jack would when describing a homosexual man. That is where the writers and editors come in and form characters such as Will and Jack. The audience can then view both sides of how homosexual men would act. WILL & GRACE, from the help of the writers and editors, handles the representation of gay men in very good manner and to the point where it can be quite accurate.
