Most gay characters I see in media aren’t stereotypes. It’s the flamboyant ones that usually make the pearl-clutchers upset because they don’t understand and that makes them uncomfortable. Hollywood needs to focus more on the character, who happens to be gay, than the fact that the character is gay.
I think Daniel Levy has done a nice job of portraying the gay regular dude. Probably has a little help, considering he is an actual gay dude. But he reminds me a lot of my actual gay brother, not at all flamboyant (except when he gets mad he gets a little extra gay), just as regular (probably not a great word to use) as they come, and happens to like dudes. And he’s had friends who fit the whole spectrum of gayness, and some of them were really annoying, some of them really cool, almost like the rest of society.
