You have to remember that only six years before that, Ellen DeGeneres had come out on national television and was at the time the first, openly gay prime-time protagonist of a show on television. 'Will and Grace' followed and became very popular. ['Queer Eye'] was the first show to feature this ensemble cast of gay men who were in the service of facilitating heterosexual romance.
