Curb Your Enthusiasm Acknowledges That a Child Seems Gay
Added 2025-01-29 06:35:50 +0000 UTC“Larry vs. Michael J. Fox” (September 11, 2011)
For better or worse, Larry David is a truth-teller, and the fictional version of him can help but to poke at social taboos. In this Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Larry suspects that Michael J. Fox may be using Parkinson’s to get away with bad behavior while also insisting that his latest love interest’s seven-year-old child is gay. It’s a lot, but here’s the thing: Larry is often not wrong.
Read “The Great and Wonderful Wizard of Odds,” the 2000 New York Times piece on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Oh and great episode about an underdiscussed queer topic. I was also a 'had zero clue' gay but we mustn't ignore the 'I knew as soon as I was conscious' gays.
