Ryan Murphy is horrible at developing gay characters. (www.towleroad.com)

Responses:

Hmm. I can not seem to recall a lot of gay promiscuous villian types. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:18 24
- He's going to be the "slutty gay" on the show that tries to break up relationships. The quote inside says it all from a former Glee star. - MDH Nov 1, 13:20 18
  - "Bitchy power bottoms?" LOL -- nm - con_carne Nov 1, 13:23 8
    - Bitchy bottoms are bad. Give 'em power? They are the *wordt*. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:28 7
      - Mpotacular ... wordt ... *raised eyebrow* ... makes the drinky drinky motion -- nm - JenBro Nov 1, 13:43 6
        
        I wish. More like sinus infection. - Spawn Nov 1, 13:49 5
        
        spoiler: sinuses can't be removed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 13:50 4
        
        but there is a surgery for it....my sister in law had it as she had crippling sinus isses. -- nm - Remlik Nov 1, 13:58 1
        
        Actually, there is a new balloon technique that I will be looking into. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 14:00
        
        You lie. - Spawn Nov 1, 13:56 1
        
        How do you remove a hole? -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 13:58
  - *every* character on that show is a cliche -- nm - ty97 Nov 1, 13:21 8
    - Just like New Girl! - Spawn Nov 1, 13:45
    - Very much this. And that extends to much of television, of course. We might say we hate cliched characters, but we so gobble them up. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 13:25 6
      - cliches are an integral part of the storytelling toolbox. -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 13:26 5
        
        Yeah, I tend to agree. Pretty much all of the characters on Queer as Folk started out as cliches but then transended that as the series was developed. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 13:32 4
        
        it's when you use them to avoid good storytelling, rather than make good storytelling, that they become a problem. -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 13:51
        
        I have to rewatch this - Brian Kinney is my screen saver at work - YUM -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 13:35
        
        That at least had layers beyond the surface. Glee's characters are a joke. -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 13:34 1
        
        Well it is on FOX. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 13:40
- Have you met JackDawson? -- nm - ty97 Nov 1, 13:20 1

  - thank you for not using anyone from the Flash's rogues gallery :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 1, 13:34 1
    - well there is Piper -- nm - Remlik Nov 1, 13:36
