That doesnt seem all that exciting to an audience member going in with no prior knowledge.
if a same-sex couple has clearly defined male and female roles.
The writers seamlessly mix straight problems with gay problems throughout the shows five seasons.
They share intimate moments like silly dances, but also fiery tirades that lead to passionate amends.
Being gay wasnt David and Keiths entire persona.
Instead, gayness was just one aspect of their lives.
This method of crafting queer characters should be more prevalent in 2024.
David and Keith are instruments for education rather than tokens of a queer quota.
I dont believe the show should get this benefit of the doubt, though.
The show never felt like they were screaming, Look!
Gay people are making out!
Isnt this great!?!
?
