PS.....
Notice how they never show the gay guy that's fat, hairy, disease riddled, and toothless on TV. It's bad for mental images. It's bad "mental programming".
Gays have to look better, smarter, richer, etc. so the lifestyle lures people tward it, or tward acceptace of it.
"Look how wonderful the gay lifestyle is. YOU can be one of us , too. The beautiful, the elite."
It's subliminal programming. It is NOT safe for impressionable kids.

Just two more sexy svelte homosexual men on tv.

Frankly the only really over the top gays on Queer Eye is the fashion and the styling gay. The interior decorator and the cooking gay are on the show are hardly flamboyant or overtly gay. Without the title and gimmick of the show, it's anything but obvious that those two are gay. So much for your grand theory of subliminal programming for kids. BTW, who lets their kids watch TV unsupervised?

You are, or you're not. I sure as hell know that even when I was a kid, absolutely nothing (not even the oh-so-terrible Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, obviously the worst thing since Stalin) could have convinced me to find some guy's hairy butt attractive.
You have gay people, and straight people, and gay people being absolutely miserable while pretending to be straight. What you DON'T have is straight people pretending to be gay, at least not in anything remotely resembling a statistically significant number.

Don't see too many straight folks meeting that description on TV either, it seems to me.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Look at the pictures of those guys above. They look ridiculous. If anything, the show perpetuates the gay stereotype. There is nothing alluring about their image.
On a sidenote, I would just like to say, if we followed your suggestion for lesbians (fat, hairy . . . as many are apt to be), that would really ruin my fantasy life! Personally, I am delighted with the illusion that all lesbians are hot supermodels.

How many fat, hairy disease riddled straight people do you see on TV? And don't tell me straight people never get fat or sick or lose their hair. TV is all about selling things, and beauty sells, gay or straight.

Actually, on the second episode, the straight guy was gorgeous.
