Studio 60's gay storyline...
Since I have gotten bored with "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and stopped watching weeks ago, I was unaware of the gay storyline being played out in the last few episodes. But I was reading AfterElton.com's Michael Jensen weekly column "Best. Gay. Week. Ever." and he writes: " What I most appreciated was the show's stance that just because you're anti-gay bias is Bible-based, it doesn't mean you're not a homophobe. (I can already hear Jerry Falwell, Pat Roberston, etc. hyperventilating.)
In the show's opening scene, Matt (Matthew Perry) is confronted by Harriett (played by out actress Sarah Paulson) who demands to know if he really thinks she is a homophobe because she believes the Bible condemns gays. He says “Yep� and when she asks what's wrong with civil unions instead of marriage he interrupts her by saying, “There is no way to get to the end of that sentence without saying homosexual love is less than heterosexual love…� And it's not some half-hearted defense either. Matt is ticked about this issue, even taking the Democrats to task for what he perceives as their pandering. You go, Chandler !"
