Lighten up! Jay Leno was not insulting the entire LGBTQ community by asking Ryan Phillippe to give the camera his "gayest look." First of all, that doesn't make any sense, and second of all, it was not a derogatory comment. I don't even know what a "gay look" is, nor do I have a "gay look," a "Jewish look" or any other look for the things that I am. The fact that Phillippe played a gay character on an American soap opera was a huge event, and I'm glad Leno brought it up. It seemed like Leno was making Phillippe very uncomfortable more than anything else, and I do commend Phillippe for not going along with it.
People make jokes all the time, and some of them are directed toward certain groups of people, and that's OK. You have to be able to laugh at yourself. I make gay jokes all the time, and I'm gay. And if you don't like "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," don't watch it. That's what the remote control is for.
