I was recently watching a show called "Will & Grace" and in one of their episodes, the main character, a gay male named Will, was trying to eat a cookie when his gay (male) friend Jack interrupted. Grace, a straight female friend was there. The following dialogue is transcribed from the episode.

(Will is trying to open a box of cookies when Jack approaches on his bike and throws the bag away.)

Will: Hey! I was trying to eat that!
Jack: You might as well aaply it directly onto your man-teats.
Grace: Jack, leave him alone! He's skinny enough!
Jack: *laughs* There is a big difference between Straight Skinny and Gay Skinny.



Is there such a thing as "gay skinny"? This conversation seemed to be regarding males.

That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. That is a case in point which proves just how misguided, ignorant, simple minded, and just plain stupid Hollywood has become. Before it is too late, do what I did. Shoot your television set before your brain begins to turn into a loaf of Spam... with the gel and all!

I would say yes, as a gay man I've seen how harsh gay men on themselves and others. What most men look like (their bodies) isn't acceptable in our world. (sadly). A little tummy... a bit of a man boob thing going on isn't really OK.. lol.. its sad.. but I've seen it first hand.. there is defenitely a difference

Jack constantly berated Will about his weight in Will and Grace - I see that as just another put-down!

Great show though!
