MAcFarlane stated to the Advocate that his Family Guy character baby Stewie Griffin os Gay.
Gee, Who saw that one coming out of the closet?
I guess Stewies Catch Phrase "Let's have a Sexy Party" complete with "Scantily Clad Jiggly Ladies" was his attempt to "Out" his older sister Meg?
As Seinfield once said "Not that there is anything wrong with that?"
Family Guy’ baby outed
Stewie Griffin, the talking baby on the animated hit Family Guy is an admitted homosexual.
When gay magazine, The Advocate, asked Seth MacFarlane, the show’s creator, which character gay fans respond to the most, MacFarlane replied: “Generally, Stewie, because he’s arguably the most complex character.”
But in recent episodes, Stewie’s sexuality has been questioned, so MacFarlane officially outed him to The Advocate.
“He originally began as this diabolical villain, but then we delved into the idea of his confused sexuality,” said MacFarlane. “We all feel that Stewie is almost certainly gay, and he’s in the process of figuring it out for himself.”
MacFarlane continued: “We haven’t ever locked into it because we get a lot of good jokes from both sides, but we treat him oftentimes as if we were writing a gay character.”
Okay, so first J.K. Rowling outed Dumbledore from the Harry Potter books, now cartoon baby Stewie. Who’s next?
