Jamie Farr said Klinger on _M*A*S*H_ was supposed to be a "silly fag," but
I didn't follow the show enough to know if the character was actually gay
or just liked to wear dresses.  I think there was a Showtime sitcom about
a gay guy (I remember reading something of the sort in ALex McNeil's
_Total Television_.  There was also a show where about these two lawyers
and the big guy revealed that he was gay.  His partner was shocked, and so
he said "Did the Village People tach you nothing?"  His partner said "The
Village People were gay?"  The show didn't last very long, but the big
actor was on something else recently
