Not only did his character amuse us to the point of almost lizzing, but he also reflected alot of the known bias and prejudice in the life of a single gay man. He was not only the giver and main player of these stereotype prejudices, but also the receiver of some, and that really gave his character so much more strength and depth. When he fell in love with and took on a fatty un groomed gay man as his boyfriend I was simply overjoyed! Then when he cheated on him with a much hotter stud, I was also overjoyed, as this is what happens, not just to the fatties out there, but to all of us, and it was great to see this represented.
What was also wonderful to see on the silver screen, is it silver, or just small, or wide and big, depending on your TV set I guess, was how he became a mentor to the young confused Justin, Bettys nephew who came out towards the end of the season and ended up with the cutest little boyfriend. It really was sooo sweet and to put such forward storylines in primetime, it was like reliving the golden girls, who most people forget, was also a very, ahead of its time, LGBT inclusive program.
Now that is a pair I would LOVE to see in a TV show, Michael Urie and Betty White, wait, they have been together already, when Betty White guest starred on Ugly Betty. But if they were to have their own show, it would be a runaway hit!!!!
GOOD BYE MARK ST JAMES!
Hallo MICHAEL URIE!!!!!
