so much haight, so little time.

an interview with Details Magazine in which Seth MacFarlane opines that only "stupid homosexuals" disliked a disgustingly transphobic episode of South Park Family Guy (thanks beth) and that this is actually something all heterosexuals and gay men should understand.

Details: You predicted that another episode—about a transgendered character—would make the LGBT community happy. It didn't.
Seth MacFarlane: That surprised me. I don't meet a lot of stupid homosexuals. They seem to be a pretty smart bunch. But it seemed that they were not picking up on the fact that it was a very sympathetic portrayal of a transsexual character.

Details: Maybe the fact that Brian barfs his guts out when he realizes he's had sex with a transsexual threw them off.
Seth MacFarlane: Hey, we're still Family Guy.We're not suddenly going to become 7th Heaven. Actually, I guess on 7th Heaven they would probably burn the transsexual at the stake. Let me think of another example. We're not Mr. Belvedere. Look, Brian happens to be a heterosexual character, as I am. If I found out that I had slept with a transsexual, I might throw up in the same way that a gay guy looks at a vagina and goes, "Oh, my God, that's disgusting." It's just the way we're biologically wired. They should give that another look.

  1. Seth MacFarlane continues to make my list of disgustoids who make me ashamed to say that i like the occasional joke-in-poor-taste or that i watch a lot of cartoons-sometimes his.

    *vomits in MacFarlane's general direction*
