post a video from this show, preferably including this Max character
I'll have to check it out. He doesn't seem to be the stereotypical gay tv male character, ie super flamboyant and snapy or whatever. I just find it odd that in an attempt to increase diversity, many shows lack it in terms of the types of gay characters on television. It seems like characters like Kima or Omar from The Wire, or a certain character from Downton Abbey, are rare on television today; ie characters who are gay but are not hyper sexualized or something.
One of the things that they do well with Max is that they make him a mix. He has his stereotypical queen-y dramatic moments, but then he's also macho, masculine, drinks beer, loves football. He frequently makes references to gay sex, and so we know he's sexual. He'll also be getting a boyfriend in the new year as part of a multi-episode arc.
Arguably the best thing they do with Max is that everyone else in the group treats him normally, i.e., absolutely the same as everyone else in the group. I think that's the best attempt at gay character inclusion I've seen yet.
