Gay and straight roommates
Longtime Muppeteer Eric Jacobson, who has played Bert since , has gone on record as saying he believes The Odd Couple was the inspiration for Bert and Ernie. He used this as a reason to dispute their implied queerness, saying, &#;If you know the genesis of the characters, it’s an absurd idea.&#;
You recognize what’s actually an absurd idea? Thinking there’s anything heterosexual about two men living together while locked in a relationship of co-dependence and dysfunction from which neither can run away. The Odd Couple, in fact, began a distant, beautiful, and frustrating tradition in television history: Toxic Masculine Male Best Friends Who Are Sometimes Roommates Pretend To Despise Each Other But Because No One Else Will Be Friends With Them They Are Stuck Together And Also Sometimes The Present Acknowledges Their Latent Homosexuality (TMMBFWASRPTDEOBBNOEWBFWTTASTAASTSATLH). No, I don’t think the acronym is too long. Here&#;s my ranking of gay roommates throughout television history.

My roommate became gay (but that turned to be the least of my problems)
<p>I was commenting on one of the * “I’m homosexual / how act I tell my roommate” * and I’m thinking my problems with queer roommates could be interesting. It will be a extended post…</p>
<p>* [Full disclosure: I’m straight, not homophobic but strongly against the enfranchisement of “gays” (os lesbians, or whatever) as a category with particular rights deriving from one’s sexual prefferences, regardless of what they might be. I’m not an American citizen. I assume people should be free to hold sex and prove civil parternships with whom they crave , but marriage should be a strictly heterossexual mutual-exclusive arrangement no matter what ] *</p>
<p>We used to live on an apartment-like arrangement, off campus, with 4 other guys. The one who sared a bedroom with me happened to became one of my leading friends, we went to parties together, took a lot of classes together, travelled on the break together with other ppl and so on. He was pretty cold, and as roommate, the one I had nothing to
gay, with a straight roommate?

<p>so, what do most colleges do with us gay students, any way? i know at colby, where some of my friends go they usually grant gay freshmen straight roommates (ones that aren’t freaked out by gayness, i hope). is that how it works everywhere? i’m not even sure i’d need to room with another same-sex attracted kid? it would kind of suck if you ended up being romantically interested- i don’t think being roommates first year of college would be a good way to make things work out in a affair . i hear that it’s foremost to try not to room with people you want to date. how does the roommate situation work out usually in cases like this?</p>

<p>Is it really necessary for the housing people to know sexual orientation?</p>
<p>I understand your concern about ending up creature romantically interested, but does sexual orientation really play that giant a factor in having to live

In my quest to comprehend YouTube, I stumbled upon a series called My Gay Roommate, (MGR) a funny series created and written by Noam Ash and Austin Bening, about two college roommates - one gay, and one who is straight.
I reached out to Noam to talk about this trendy multi-episode series. As star, writer, and producer for MGR, he's quite the talent.
BP: (Bill Pritchard) Narrate us about "My Same-sex attracted Roommate."
NA: (Noam Ash) My Gay Roommate is a comedy web series that explores the relationship between two college roommates - one who is homosexual, and one who is straight. We made it our senior year at Tufts with a bunch of our friends in a college dorm. The team felt that a gay-straight friendship duo hadn't been explored much in the media, so we decided to make our own series for the interwebs.
BP: Where did you come up with the idea?
NA: MGR is us in a way. We (Austin Bening and Noam) were roommates all four years of college. We wanted to collaborate on a project for a while, and ended up telling on our possess story. It was a four year research
