Wow, people, please stop watching this show.

This show is the equivalent of how African Americans were treated in the early 1900's. They got more acknowledgement, but it was only due to their entertainment value. People exploited them as minstrels, and them had them play for "whitey". They were considered nothing more than entertainers, and were a novelty, rather than considered human beings that had worthwhile contributions to make outside of music and dance.

It's the same today, with queer eye. People get excited, able to watch real homosexuals interact with "normal" straight guys. IT'S SO ZANY TO SEE A FAG HELP A STRAIGHT GUY! This show makes the assumption that all gay guys are crazy and entertaining, and have more fashion sense than straight guys, just as white exploitaters had african americans play based on the premise that they were just mere minstrels that had more music sense than whites.

The only hope for this show is that these ridiculous means help show homophobes that gays arent something to be feared. I, on the other hand, don't need to watch this show, becuase I already know that gays are normal people, too, and I feel that it wrongly reflects the gay community. All you I-mockers should be ashamed of this show, I assume you already know that the gay community has worthwhile contributions to make to the world, including those outside of the fashion industry.
