first: great episode the best so far of the season
8.5 / 10 stars
The first 6 or 7 minutes were great! Then, the moment those offensive gay stereotypes appeared, I became really pissed off. Bart’s girlfriend subplot? Terrible beyond belief. Seymour’s girlfriend subplot? PLEASE PUT THIS INTO AN EPISODE!!! Okay, okay, has Moe turned into Mr Krabs? WORST this season. 4/10
There are many stereotypes portrayed in The Simpsons, but now you decide to bitch about a specific one? Jeez dude, lighten up. It’s just a cartoon. You don’t see Scottish people throwing a fit every time Groundskeeper Willie is in an episode.
i thought it was pretty freakin funny.
Agree 100% with C@A !
I assume the people who found it “Pretty freaking funny” are straight, then? This and The Regina Monologues are the only episodes I’ve ever found offensive.
I thought this was the best of the Gay episodes and it had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. The musical montage with Jennifer Juniper was great. I watched the episode on an HD screen for the first time and I do have to say it looked incredibly great, words cant describe how beautiful the picture looked!
This is The Simpsons. Part of the point of the show to deliver commentary on Americans and our pop-culture through stereotypes. Did you people not realize that most of the characters on the show are stereotypes?
Convenient store owners, cops, teachers, principals, bullies, elected officials, comic book store owners, Scotts, The Irish, Italians, Australians and many others have been characterized by stereotypes on the show. If you can accept these stereotypes as part of the show, why can’t you accept gay stereotypes as part of the show? Sounds pretty hypocritical to me!
Can you remove the above comment(and this one)? I wanted to resubmit it because it wouldn’t allow me to edit.

The other stereotypes are actually funny. But this one just isn’t.
To be able to accept all but one of the many stereotypes as part of the show is pretty hypocritical.
Perhaps it’s because gay stereotypes aren’t thrown around as much as the others, therefore are less accepted in our society.
Either that, or people who can’t accept them are homosexuals who can only take a joke if they aren’t at the butt end of it.
Old folks, Jews, Scotts, The Irish, Hindus, Christians, Italians, Australians, Asians, Mexicans, nerds, cops, elected officials, teenagers, principals, teachers, bullies, comic book store owners, elected officials, and many others have been characterized by stereotypes on the show.
Gays want equal rights, don’t they? If you can accept all or even one of the other stereotype as part of the show, but ask the writers not to put gay stereotypes in it, then you aren’t asking for equality. You’re asking for special treatment.
Accept that it’s just a cartoon and get over it.
As a gay that gays pretty gaily, I did not find any of the “gay jokes” offensive. It’s the Simpsons, and no one comes here to be coddled. Great episode, the season has been a marked improvement. Was this the first time Smithers has said the G-word?
Big fan of the show since Tracey Ullman days… but sorry to say this episode was the worst one ever. Everyone is fair game when it comes to the show – so it’s not the stereotypes in this episode that got me, it is the way that is was done. Typical, boring, without any creative bite. It was just a list of gay stereotypes that did nothing.
After 22 seasons, I’m sad to say that it is time for The Simpsons to sell the house and move on.
i 100 percent agree with you, it is time for the simpsons to say good night. Rather then put these horrible episodes
Do we want our children being gay, No. Do we want gay people having an impressionable impact on our children. No. Potraying gays on adult tv my be fine, but in a childrens show, this is way too far. Gay people in the end, are a perversion of nature. tHIS HAS TO STOP.
Speak for yourself, you ignorant jackass.
Children may watch it, but The Simpsons is not a children’s show, nor was it ever meant to be. That’s why it’s on prime time. If you don’t want your children watching it, be a good parent and turn the TV off or change the channel.
I have never seen a Simpson’s anywhere near this bad. pure lameness. Time to hang it up fellas
