Honestly? Neither. Scripted shows always write the token gay guy as the girliest, most over-sensitive character on the show. Reality shows are just as bad when they cast the most effeminate, lisping, hip-swingers they can pull off the streets. Exposure to the masses is not good when it only serves to enforce stereotypes. Thanks, Bravo, but I have no interest in nails and hair.

Hate both to be honest, Will from Will and Grace I did like though... Lol, and Andrew from Desperate Housewives <_<

other than that, scripted AND reality shows always show gay guys as the girliest guys ever -.-

Did you ever see the episode of W&G where Will is doing an acting excercise and he's apoligizing to himself?
