Just wondering - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I love Will and Grace. It is always hilarious.
But, I have been wondering, does any of the jokes or acting offend the gay community? Jack portrays a stereotypical gay man. And I know a lot of gay men do not behave that way.

I guess it could be but, your asking someone who is. And I'm not offended it's just a sitcom. It's suppose to be funny.

Not all of the gay community watches Will and Grace and there are some people of the gay community that do find it offensive. But the fact is they are showing two parts of the gay community. They have Jack who is very flamboyant and sleeps with almost anyone. And we have Will who wants to have that speical man in his life. And has slept with very few men.

But I'm not offended.

I don't find it offensive either. It's just plain old good humor, in my opinion. The character Jack is my fiction-idol! People tell me I am the teenage version of him, and I take it as a compliment!

I was reading Entertainment Weekly not to long ago and they have those letters to the editor page. One person wrote that they found Will and Grace offensive to the gay community. And it makes more people hateful of gays. He or she wrote that it trys to so that gay men can't stay in relationships because Will never stays with a man and Jack is always fooling around with another guy week after week.
