Queer Eye for the Straight Frog
Have you seen this show yet? I have and I have to admit that I'm conflicted about it. On one hand, I see this an another attempt to feminize society and I'm not necessarily for that idea. On the other hand, these guys are funny as hell and give really good advice. This is so much better than your average makeover show because they don't just attempt to "shine a turd"... they give the poor sap guidance and schooling on how to dress, decorate and how to behave. I don't feel like these guys are out to make gay-looking men but they are doing an effective job of helping people feel comfortable with the idea of having five gay dudes fawn and pawing at a straight dude. I'm curious to hear what gay men think about this show as it does seem to perpetuate stereotypes -- a couple of these guys are pretty flamboyant. Truth be told, the most flamboyant of the group -- Carson -- also comes across as the most helpful and interested of the group. All and all, I would recommend the show, if for no other reason but to get really great information which is as good as anything in a Men's Health magazine.
