    Family Gay

    One of my current pop-culture obsessions is the cartoon series Family Guy, which I watch in repeats on Netflix as I do my makeup.  (Yes, I’m a late fan!) The politically-incorrect gay jokes are hilarious.  Often they expose the idiocy of homophobia, other times gay culture is the butt of the joke.  For instance, this…
