All praise Gay-Bee-Cee
In honor of the Pope’s recent visit, let’s talk about gay people. (The Pope doesn’t approve of them — what did you think I meant?) There is a funny thing happening at ABC. It has not just become the Home of the Homo; that has been mounting for quite some time, what with the onscreen content of Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money and Brothers and Sisters, and the behind-the-scenes gayness of Desperate Housewives, Pushing Daisies and Grey’s Anatomy. No, what is really interesting is that ABC is also becoming the network for a little shot of spirituality. Between the metaphysical meanderings of Lost, the “Is God real?” musings of Eli Stone and the New Thought and philanthropic influences of Oprah, ABC is turning into the place to go for the Meaning of Life. Even the campy Desperate Housewives had cancer-survivor Lynette (the wonderful Felicity Huffman) hopping from church to church searching for spiritual answers last week.
