![]() I think my favorite issue to come up was Jack and Will protesting NBC (the same network Will and Grace is on) for not allowing two men to kiss on primetime TV. Jack marries Karen's secretary to give her a green card (and unlike other shows, remains in the marriage for a year). Where to start? Grace debates being in a throuple before throuples were widely accepted. We see a lot more of Jack being the typical GBF to Karen than Will to Grace. They're confused for a married couple a lot. Their relationship is a give-and-take, as well, where Will is getting advice and being treated like a person instead of an object. Will and Grace live together and spend a LOT of time together, but we see him encouraging her career, speaking candidly about the things she is doing wrong, and yes, giving her fashion advice. Just because a man is gay does not mean he has to be the extension of a woman. That's well and good, but it doesn't necessarily represent real life. I can't speak for everyone, but the LGBT movies and tv shows marketed towards people my age often deal more with the idea of girls being friends with gay men to get fashion and sex advice. Will is Grace's "gay best friend," but it's not the typical YA adaption.
