7. I think the only word you left out is "asexual."

Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 10:00 PM by Harvey Korman

It's not that it's overtly homophobic, it's that it portrays gay men as asexual caricatures--the "fab five" (ugh) are homo but not sexual. They're non-threatening foppish clowns, not real people with their own lives. Their only purpose is to serve as handmaidens to hetero love--i.e., a cause "greater" than themselves. Each one even fills his own niche.

But they're so darn CUTE aren't they?
