Where Everybody Knows Your Flame: Difference between revisions

(sorted the example sections, combined the two "Music " sections, hung a "context" tag on an example that doesn't appear to mention a gay bar, did other minor cleanup)
Line 101:
* On ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', Earl finds a rather nerdy man named Kenny that he had gone to school with and picked on mercilessly. Earl notes that Kenny is lonely, and so tries to get him a girlfriend, until Randy stumbles upon Kenny's gay [[Porn Stash]]. Earl then takes Kenny to a local gay bar to help him become more comfortable with who he is...and maybe find a new boyfriend.
* ''[[Glee]]'' has Scandals, where the gay boys of the cast go with fake ID's. However, it's realistic in appearance and size for a gay bar in small town Ohio.
* Ernie and Bert from ''[[Sesame Street]]'' are occasionally [[Shipping|the target of speculation]], just because they've been together since the beginning (1969). Frank Oz has tried to dispel the claims (“I created Bert, I know what and who he is”), as has the Sesame Workshop (“As we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”) Nonetheless, former Sesame Street writer Mark Saltzman's 2018 claim that he contextualized Bert and Ernie as a couple based on his own relationship with film editor Arnold Glassman has kept the speculation alive (“I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were. I didn’t have any other way to contextualize them.”) and the US Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Edie Windsor, 570 U.S. 744 (2013) has emboldened support by fans for finally allowing this long-running duo to tie the knot and make it official. It'll likely never happen as Sesame is a show for little kids, but the question will always remain open.{{context}}<!-- Where's the gay bar?
