Yeah, I've been thinking about what is the difference between shows like Queer Eye and and Will & Grace that makes them less offensive the previous attempts at exploitation in the media and it eventually occured to me this morning (sad how long these things take sometimes.) In these shows, while the gay characters are total stereotypes, they are the characters in positions of power. That, I believe, makes the stereotype acceptible on some level.
