Blastertoyo 22,728 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The character, who came out in a 2016 episode of the animated Fox series, will be at the center of a gay romance storyline in an episode set to air on November 21. The upcoming episode, titled "Portrait Of A Lackey On Fire," was written by longtime series writer Rob LaZebnik and his son Johnny LaZebnik, who inspired him to write Smithers' original coming-out episode. "So often, gay romances are a subplot or alluded to or shown in some kind of montage or as a punchline," Johnny LaZebnik told the New York Post this week.

Reject False Icons 4,770 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Oh I bet it’s gonna be a cringy gay stereotype again I know it’s a product of their time in the 90s and the 2000s homophobia was the norm on tv, but even the RuPaul episode was cringy, Julio is a cringy walking stereotype, anyways the series was only good in the 90s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
