Is Joey gay? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GeorgeJefferson · 10-24-2003, 05:23 PM

Yes, I know there are episodes that feature him with a girlfriend or a date. But come on, he's in no way related to anybody in the household ever. There's never any sign of him looking for a wife or family. He's just raising girls with two other guys, one who is a neat-freak that he has known his whole life.

I think the series didn't have the guts to feature a gay character back then and made minor implications in the dialogue that Joey was a misguided soul and would eventually realize his true sexuality and why he had spent all these years living with men and teaching girls about life. Look at the similiarities between his wit, and that of Jack on Will & Grace. I think his wit is a distraction from the true nature.

What do you think?

The thought of Joey being gay never occurred to me, but something else did.

Why would Danny pick Joey (who is not a relative and who had no kids of his own) to help raise his three daughters? How did he know he wasn't a child molester? I'm not implying that he was. But Danny even went out of town overnight in the second season and Jesse had a job so it was Joey with the girls most of the time. How did he know for sure that he could trust him? I wouldn't leave my little girls with a man.

All i have to say is that....

I really hated it when Joey acts like a cartoon character.. Its just.. "errr"

David · 10-24-2003, 07:26 PM

oh lol! i forgot to answer the question.

I dont think he's gay. I have to say this: just because a person acts gay, doesnt mean he is. My friend acts like a girl mainly due to the fact that he grew up with girls (his sisters). That doenst mean he's gay, and hes not

He probably knew Joey more and longer than he did Jesse. How did he know Jesse wasn't gonna try to feed them booze or something? After all, Jesse was the wild one.

And no, I don't think Joey is gay. Seriously, what is with society today??? A single character on TV is automaticaly labeled as gay. To some people, everyone is gay. That is so annoying. And who the hell cares if he is or not???

Well said. Let people be different. Does sexual preference really bug people all that much?? Boy..

Joey gay? not at all...

GeorgeJefferson · 10-24-2003, 10:15 PM

Hey, this is just an opinion poll. You folks don't have to get so touchy about this. This has nothing to do with the actor, but merely the character of Joey. Watch "Full House" and see what you think.

Vegas Girl · 10-25-2003, 03:16 PM

He should trust Jesse more because those were his nieces, and I don't think he'd want to hurt his deceased sister's children.

Yeah, he and Danny knew each other when they were in grade school.

no

dandelion wine · 10-30-2003, 04:06 AM

Nope

Lucylover22 · 10-30-2003, 02:05 PM

Why do people always assume a character is gay? Like on the Lm boards, there is a thread "Is Miranda Gay?" Why waste your time with threads like these?

King Creole · 10-30-2003, 10:28 PM

Very good, if irrelevant question.

I think it could go either way. I don't think he is, personally. He really seems to like it when the ladies show him attention.

In Peace,
