Glee Vs Ugly Betty: TV's Gay Teen Queens Bitch War!

Mark Indelicato, who played the adorable gay teen, Justin Suarez on Ugly Betty, spoke to Latina.com about his reservations about Kurt, the adorable gay teen character in Glee;
“I just don’t understand why the gay character is portrayed as the weak link — or the person who can’t stand up for themselves... I think every gay character on TV —whether it be a boy or a girl, or even somebody questioning their sexuality — I would like to see them portrayed as stronger and more independent, not as squeamish.”
Adorable!
Mark does point out that Justin didn't actually come out until the penultimate episode of Ugly Betty's run.

Heterosexism: Gay Uncle Tomfoolery

There was a full and frank discussion today on the Queerty messageboards after an item about the adorable Mark Indelicato from Ugly Betty guest starring as an "eager high school theater queen" in new US sitcom, Hot In Cleveland.
There's a clip of it you can watch on there - he's super femmy.
And pretty predictably, some fags don't find this funny.

Alan Brickman: "where are the masc gays?…they exist you know…."
Jason: "@alan brickman: What's your point? That gays should act masc to be accepted? Yeah, I'm sure gays would be more acceptable if they slept with the opposite sex too"

That's one of the funniest putdowns I've heard for that old scratched record complaining about gay men who act so... gay, recently regurgitated by Andrew Pierce in the Daily Mail.
Michael Bronski argues brilliantly - as he so often does - against such Gay Uncle Tomfoolery here.
