9 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT GAY MATT

1. Matt can change himself to straight if he really wanted to and asked God for help
2. How can Matt know if he's not straight if he's never gone “all the way” with a girl
3. Maybe Matt chose to be gay because he's always seeking attention for himself
4. But Matt dated girls before !
5. But Matt was in love with Mariah Carey!
6. Can't Matt just try or at least pretend to be straight. Its much better than being gay.
7. Wont Matt get tired of the promiscuous and shallow gay lifestyle and change back.
8. Matt is just in an emotional crisis right now. Its a phase. He’ll get over it.
9. Matt's father must have been distant in Matt's childhood

Perhaps shows like Will & Grace, Queer Eye, and Six Feet Under that reach such a mass audience should take their success and address at least once in their storylines -these common misconceptions about Matt. I mean its ludicrous how many people love these shows and still hold on to their ignorant misconceptions. They are watching these shows under the assumption that Will and Jack and the Fab 5 chose to be gay instead of straight and ooo.. look how funny they can be at it ! Umm.. does anyone else see this dilemma? anyone? anyone?
