SERIES FINALE OF WILL AND GRACE ENDS 8-YEAR TRUCE BETWEEN GAY, STRAIGHT COMMUNITIES
In the nearly two weeks since gay Will and straight Grace ended their televised domestic cohabitation, dozens of vigilante raids on gay bars and nightclubs have been reported, Provincetown, MA announced its secession from the U.S., while skirmishes have broken out at gay–straight border areas along New York's Chelsea neighborhood and the Castro district of San Francisco. And Monday, openly gay congressman Barney Frank was shot and killed on the steps of the Capitol.
"Straight men and women have reverted to their stereotypical view of gays, painting them as two-dimensional caricatures of either uptight, impeccably dressed neat-freaks, or shallow, flamboyant, sex-crazed maniacs," said Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
"Without the glue that held us together every Thursday night at 9, the floodgates have opened, and it's only going to get worse from here," he added.
Until now, the gay community has largely obeyed leaders' appeals for calm, but gay–straight violence seems likely to intensify in the vacuum left by the show's departure. Last Friday, a posse of militant homosexuals laid siege to ESPN's Bristol, CT studios and took five hostages, while actors Harvey Fierstein and Nathan Lane are facing assault charges after throwing several Molotov cocktails into a UCLA fraternity house over the weekend.

God!! I hope you're kidding... I have been away from the "news" for 3 days and when I come back I find that the glue you need is just a sitcom! Sorry, I cannot believe that and I hope it's the white wine I'm sipping that is getting me to misread this bit of information. I never saw W&G but I have seen repeatedly Absolutely Fabulous... what can I say? Americans, get a life!!! (and a new president and vice president...)
