Whose Faulty Vision

Will and Grace on Delta

I was on a Delta flight coming back from Atlanta last night. This was one of the older planes with a few TV screens for the whole cabin to watch, rather than the newer ones with little screens at every seat and multiple channels. I never watch the TV shows they broadcast (I bring my own TV shows, taken off of my MythTV box onto my PSP), but I noticed that one of the things they were showing this time was an episode of “Will and Grace.”

Now, I know how thoroughly the airlines censor the content on those shared TV screens, to make sure they don’t offend any of their passengers. So it says something about how far our society has come that they can show a TV show where the male lead is gay, and where many of the jokes and plotlines revolve around homosexuality. Maybe there’s hope yet.
