Should Family Guy 'phase out' gay jokes?


Most gays were not offended, but some SJW at Pinko was. They should do more SJW jokes.

And during the show's 17-season run, Stewie, the Griffin family baby, has been hit with quips about being gay.

But it appears that the jokes targeted at the LGBT community are on the way out.

In Sunday's episode, Peter Griffin, who is voiced by the show's creator Seth MacFarlane, was seen telling a cartoon President Trump that the show was trying to "phase out" gay jokes.

"Many children have learned their favourite Jewish, black, and gay jokes by watching your show over the years," the animated president tells Peter.

"In fairness, we've been trying to phase out the gay stuff," Peter replies. "But you know what? We're a cartoon. You're the president."

Absolutely not. They should do jokes about everyone and everything. If somebody doesn't like it, they don't have to watch.

ALL SHOULD BE FAIR...

Family Guy has gay jokes??? Oh no, please say it isn’t so! I mean jokes about slavery, 9/11, AIDS, and the Holocaust are perfectly fine but they really should draw the line somewhere!

No - they should continue being an equal opportunities offender.
