Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It's a Ryan Murphy show with canon gay characters already (Hen and her wife, Karen, Michael, and Josh) and it has featured several gay couples in the calls-of-the-week.

I assume because, on the surface, it's a show about first responders, i.e. ~heroes. And a couple of black lesbians is one thing (I mean, they were already black), but now the gay is threatening to touch the Good Guys (one of the characters is a very white firefighter, the other is a firefighter named Diaz, but he was in the military and is ergo a real man and all that).

Diaz is Mexican-American and has an awesome kid with CP. I love their relationship so much.

I think your implication would hold more water if the spin-off (9-1-1 Lonestar) didn't also have a gay hero firefighter in a relationship with a cop. Oh, and an African American f2m firefighter as well. The franchise seems pretty devoted to heroes of all types (including a Muslim woman).

I love Hen btw, but I wish she would spend less time helping people with their problems and more time on her own family and career.

Shipping goggles aside, I love the found family feel between Buck and Eddie&Christopher. I am not close to my own family and consider my friends the most important people in my life, so friends as family is a weakness of mine.

Oh, both shows are very diverse. But I think, in the original at least, those who really want to can turn a blind eye to the characters and storylines they don't like. Considering how many out right lies on one and simple scientific facts on the other side people can ignore...

I agree. We get more regular glimpses into the other characters' private lives, while Hen rarely breaks out of her role as supporting character.

OP

Yeah. I said in another comment that I have no idea because honestly, I have no idea how/why those people's brains work the way they do, but when I try to analyze it, I think they might be okay with certain characters being gay if they're far enough removed from them, if that makes sense. Like, lesbians are fine cause they're women, and Michael is older so he doesn't count, and Josh isn't traditionally "manly", so obviously HE'S gay, but...two young, more stereotypically "masculine", "straight-seeming" guys, there's no way THEY can be gay. (Not speaking from my own point of view here, obviously.) It's mostly young, straight guys that I see who are the most critical, so I feel like maybe they identify the most with Buck/Eddie and the idea of them, specifically, being gay (the horror!) bothers them.

I don't know, I'm probably putting too much effort into trying to understand the way their brains work.

OP

I have no idea, but they're definitely out there! I only know one in real life and I always wonder why she even watches the show when she feels the way she does, but she's not a friend or anything, barely an acquaintance, so I just don't want to get into it with her. I come across a bunch online, though.

ayrt

Yikes! I just do not understand people like that.
