The progression towards acceptance of Gay people during the duration of the 90s.
After watching Matt Baume video on YouTube on Frazier & sitcoms of the Gay 90s. Matt goes through many different variations or how gays were not only treated during the early stages of Frasier all throughout the show, but he really talked about how many different shows were starting to move towards more of the acceptance and fascination aspect of being gay. It appears as if the narrative has completely changed versus what it was during the timeframe of the 80s. Actually want to know what was really that big dynamic that really flipped everything because from the most part from what I’ve seen so far during the 80s they were a lot less excepting I want to know really what changed everything?? I see that a lot of people that are gay are looked at really looked at as an experiment rather than people. I think the societies mindset of the time it was beginning to be more excepting but I think there was a lot of people that looked at homosexuality as more of a trend versus a lifestyle in the 90s on multiple sitcoms. As Frasier when he was trying to discover and not only himself but got to a point where he questioned his own sexuality. He started asking himself the age-old questions from why he wasn’t interested in sports as a child to him growing up and being so fascinated with theater as kid he begins to fill his head on his thoughts of him possibly being gay. With his father at a certain point begins pretend to be gay and ended up becoming friends with another father. To begin to see the positive curiosities and fascinations about being gay in our society. While also seeing people become not only more open but more accepting is definitely A good sign in the right direction.
