Gay Pretender

The gay pretender examples I found were in Ugly Betty and Will & Grace. In the Ugly Betty episode titled “Petra-gate,” an upcoming designer pretends to gay in order to be taken seriously in the fashion industry. In the Will & Grace episode titled “A Chorus Lie,” Matt Damon guest stars and pretends to be gay in order to participate in the gay men’s choir that will be traveling around Europe. Jack catches Matt Damon’s character checking out a woman and tries to get Grace to “in” him. Grace is overly flirtatious, undresses in front him, and sits on him in order to get him to cave. The running joke is you don’t mind because your gay.
