1. Cameron “Acting Straight”

Modern Family has been praised for its portrayal of a loving gay couple, but the show dealt with a bit of controversy in an episode where Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), was determined to show how manly he was by “acting straight.” Cameron attempted to pick up a woman at a bar, but it turned into a massive fail when the woman called him out on his homosexuality. The woman stated, “It’s obvious. The way you talk and walk and dress and your theatrical hand gestures.” Many LGBTQ activists were offended by this dialogue, because they felt it perpetuated gay stereotypes that deem gay men as “girly,” and heterosexual men as “masculine.”
