There should be more effeminate characters on TV and in film?!?!!? I feel like that's the ONLY portrayal of gay men. I too, am one of the gay men disappointed in the portrayal of gays in the film "He's Just Not That Into You." All we ever see is gay men portrayed as effeminate. Growing up in the Midwest, I didn't have much exposure to gays, and I was terrified of coming out. The only thing I knew about being gay was what I saw on TV----effeminate men---which is something I just didn't relate too. Although Lance Bass received some flack for his "straight acting gay" comment, I know what he was talking about. Had I seen more gay men portrayed as "straight acting" on television, I know I would have felt more comfortable with myself, and probably would have come out sooner. What we need on TV is more gay men being portrayed with MASCULINE traits, not effeminate. Is Wilson crazy? There should be more effeminate characters on TV and in film?!?!!?

Right on. The only way to preserve the lives of LGBT youth is to end (perceived and actual) isolation. The only way to do that is through visibility and self-disclosure. He is on the right track and hopefully will have folks following in his footsteps. P.S. I loved your effeminate self in "My So-Called Life," W.C.!! Good for Wilson! Right on.

I expect him to act in films quite a bit longer. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't make enough films. By the way, doesn't he have the most beautiful smile that you've ever seen Bravo to Wilson for being who he is! 5 – 10 years? I expect him to act in films quite a bit longer.
