I don't think anyone's complaining about "queer guys teaching" -
but if they got picked BECAUSE they're "queer" (i.e., Food
Network execs saying something like "hey, we need our own
'Queer Eye'!") rather than on the basis of cooking ability or
expertise, then something's wrong here.

In other words, it's not about any objection to homosexuality -
it's about the likelihood of this being symptomatic of the typically
shallow network programming mentality, where "hey, let's get a
queer host!" becomes the formula du jour. Sort of like the
"reality TV" plague, in which a couple of successful and
moderately well-conceived programs spawned a slew of
absolutely hideous "me too!" reality-formula shows.
