There were some. What are some of your favorites? In the Cruising episode, a car full of girls rode past them and Tootie got excited and said, "A car full of girls!" And Natalie said, "I can see how we're a little confused here"

Delivery Man: I have an order of flowers here.

Tootie: Where did these flowers come from?

Delivery Man: Gee i don't know, there's a note.

Tootie: Who sent them?

Delivery Man: Geri Tyler. Haha, he must like one of you gals a lot.

Natalie: He's a SHE.

Delivery Man: Oh, well that's none of my business is it?


Oh the irony.

In the first episode, or one of the first ones from the first seasons, Blair criticized (oh, now the "tomboy's" name escapes me) for hugging another girl, saying that "People will think you're strange!"

Blair wasn't exactly saying it, but was definitely implied that the girl was a "lesbian".

Not Sue Ann, but what was that other girl's name? I've seen that episode so many times, and now I forget.

Mrs. G should have given her better advice. She should have told her that even if she was gay, then it's ok and there's nothing wrong with that.





Mrs. G: What are you gonna wear?

Ms. Mahoney: Nothing

Mrs. G: When you arrive, i don't wanna miss it.

The episode is from 1979, for Pete's sake. Times were different back then, and Mrs. G gave good advice for that time.

What if she really was gay? And tried to hurt herself? It was BAD advice and that's MY OPINION.

WHY do you think she would ever want to physically harm herself? There was no evidence that Cindy was ever suicidal?
What is it about Mrs. G's advice that you find "bad"?

I already told you why that advice was bad. What Mrs. G should have said that even if she was gay, then there's nothing wrong with that.

And that whole trying to make herself look feminine when the girl was a TOMBOY was also bad. Every girl doesn't desire to wear her hair down and wear a dress.

Yea, she's lucky as hell she's not gay right? There are a ton of gay kids who wouldn't be comforted by that advice.....

Mrs. G's advice was way better when she was talking to Tootie in the episode, "Dear Me".

If Cindy would have objected to Mrs. G's advice, Mrs. G would have listened, because she actually was caring. She did the best she could. It was 1979, for heaven's sake. That's like a world ago, in another time. That's what she knew. She did the best she could.
NOW it is 2016, so that advice for THIS TIME would be bad. But back then, Mrs. G gave a helpful heart and she loaned her shoulder and ears to Cindy. She meant no harm and she truly was trying to help.
Actually, she DID help, because Cindy WELCOMED the advice.

1979....... things were very different back then. I guess you don't realize that.

Well by 1979 there were already several Gay Pride Civil Rights Wars going on, i.e. The Stonewall riots, Yes it was 1979, not 1929.

I'm not understanding your point.
Cindy was not gay, so why are you even bringing this up?
