1. Society stereotypes gay men as being very feminine.Some of the stereotypes that of gay men that are portrayed on TV that Savage discusses is the typical gay men who owns a puddle and walks their puddle in the park. Another stereotype that Savage talks about is the typical gay men who own and wear a purse.
2. A TV show from the 1990’s and is still shown today that gives an example of how gay men and/or straight people are not stereotypically portrayed is the Will and Grace. In this TV show, there are two characters that are gay: Will Truman and Jack McFarland. Will Truman is not the stereotypical gay man society usually portrays. He is manly, doesn’t wear a purse or own a puddle and doesn’t have feminine characteristics that are noticeable. On the other hand, Jack McFarland is one of the stereotypical gay men. He has feminine characteristics that he exposes in the show. A straight character that is not stereotypically portrayed is Grace Adler. Society portrays straight people being scared on gay people because they don’t want to be hit on by them or be influenced by them. In the show, Grace and Will live together and are best friends!
3. I think gay men should be allowed to adopt children. What makes society think that they won’t be able to do a good job or even a better job in raising a child than heterosexual couples? I believe that children who grow up in gay families versus children who grow up in straight families will be very different. Children who grow up in gay families will be more aware of the current homosexuality issues and will be more sensitive to these issues. They will also have a different type of appreciation and love for gay families raising children.
