I haven't been keeping up with the FOX sitcom "The War at Home" but I sure am glad someone at AfterElton.com is as the sitcom continues to portray the journey of Kenny (Rami Malek) who was kicked out of his house after coming out to his parents and comes to live with the family of his best friend. The gruff family patriarch Dave (Michael Rappaport) would seem an unlilkely source of support for Kenny but he does what Kenny's parents, and any parent of a gay kid, should do: he parents him.
kenny.jpgThis week's episode had Kenny going out on a date and Dave has a talk with him about safer sex. He does so because wifeVicky (Anita Barone) , when realizes Kenny has a boyfriend, insists Dave talk with him about safe sex because she’d “…like to keep him from getting AIDS.�
Dave starts off talking about how comic books come wrapped in plastic for their protection (hint, hint). Things proceeded to considerably more detail as Dave attempts to demonstrate how gay sex works with a very funny montage of hand gestures. He then explains that all men are animals so when you get two men together it’s different than regular sex “…where there is some girl there to say no to everything.�
AfterElton reports that next week "Dave steps up to the plate when Kenny and his new boyfriend Dylan are told they can’t attend the school’s Sadie Hawkin’s dance. No doubt Dave will fumble and say some foolish things, but it will be in service of doing the right thing, and I, for one, can’t ask for much more than that."
