Society's Need for a Queer Solution

This reading was all about Homosexual and Heterosexual gender roles and how they are perceived by society via t.v. They used Will and Grace and Ellen as an example of shows that help address both. I thought that Will and Grace was a good show that is directed to homosexual and heterosexual lives. However, this article said that Will and Grace is comical and is almost mocking gays in a sense. I don't really think that's what this show is doing. The book goes on to say that Jack is the "stereotypical" gay man with flamboyant actions and I thought they were looking down at how this character was created. There are some gay people who are just like Jack. They are flamboyant and don't really care that people just see them as a gay person. That's they're identity and that's fine with them. Will is a gay man also but he's the complete opposite and doesn't necessarily let his sexuality define him. I think this is a great example of all the different people in our society. There are people like Jack. And then they are people like Will who believe their career and successes in life should identify their character and not who they're attracted too.
Also, I read how homosexuality was known to be present in the "olden" days. Some historians and psychologists believe that anyone is susceptible in being "tempted" by the other sex. Others believed that sex was a sin in general. Foucault believed that homosexuality IS a person's identity. I think that's wrong to do. I don't see myself or other straight people making that our identity. That isn't the first thing I think of when I would want to describe myself. Having your sexuality, no matter if you're homosexual or heterosexual, be your identity, I personal think that you're making it easier for people to judge you and for people in society to have a false sense of what you're all about.
