It’s surprising to go back to older movies and see how commonly “he’s GAY” was a punchline. And that was it, that was the joke, “hey that dude’s queer!”, 100% of the laugh line right there. This hung on well into the 1990s.
Three’s Company and its combination of “obviously the subtext of all male-female interaction is that they could fuck each other” and broad comical like, gay drag, is particularly nuts to watch today
Honestly in retrospect the notion that Jack’s secret straight life is charmed by the omnipresent potential of sex with his friends but he has to pretend to be gay for reasons of social respectability is great, thanks 70s
