What episode does house pretend to be gay
House: Little girls who kiss frogs expect them to turn into you.
Chase: Oh, come on, I'm not that good-looking.
House: Yes, you are.
(Beat)
Wilson: You considerate of are.
House: What makes a guy start drooling? (pause) Chase, were you wearing your short shorts?
- In the similar episode, House insists that Chase loves him. Wilson replies that Cameron loves him, Chase merely loves his job. Despite House's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Chase earlier in the episode, Residence looks genuinely hurt by the idea that his little wombat doesn't adore him.
House and Schrödinger’s Queerbait
I’m pretty confident in saying that House changed my life.
A bit uninspiringly, House didn’t change my life with any life lessons. What changed my animation was House and Wilson’s dynamic, and its undeniable homosexual subtext.
Is it queerbait? Queerbait is defined as cis, vertical creators manufacturing a relationship between two people of the same gender that seems to be going beyond friendship as a way to attract an LGBT audience, but never committing to it, as it would alienate the cis, straight part of their audience.
There were plenty of straight cis people involved in the creation of Property and Wilson’s dynamic, which never goes anywhere beyond two dysfunctional best friends But there are also two writers, Liz Freidman and Sara Hess, both of whom are women-loving women and who wrote some of the most subtext-heavy episodes in House. The actor who played House, Hugh Laurie, spoke favorably of a affectionate interpretation, and one of the producers, Katie Jacobs, was known in the LiveJournal days as the patron saint of House/Wilson.
So what happened there? Was it all a ploy to entice a ga

The Epidemic of
Gay LonelinessBy Michael Hobbes

“I used to get so delighted when the meth was all gone.”
This is my partner Jeremy.
“When you possess it,” he says, “you have to keep using it. When it’s gone, it’s like, ‘Oh good, I can go back to my life now.’ I would linger up all weekend and go to these sex parties and then perceive like shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.”
Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won’t tell me the exact circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.
Jeremy is not the buddy I was expecting to have this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the gentle of guy who wears a function shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to do CrossFit. Today, when I ask him how the hospital’s been so far, the first thing he says is that there’s no Wi-F
Asexual Representation: The Dreaded Residence Episode
Transcript Transcribed by Laura M.
Courtney: Hello everyone and welcome back. My name is Courtney. I’m here with my spouse Royce, together we are The Ace Couple, and oftentimes on this podcast we like to speak about varying examples of asexual representation in the media. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. And, although in recent years we’ve started seeing some really hopeful glimmers of positive ace representation, it hasn’t always been that way. So today we would love to take you support ten years, one packed decade, to the year 2012. The show was House. The season was eight.
Royce: The representation was bad.
Courtney: Bad. I don’t even know if that’s a strong enough pos. When I tell you that this episode broke my heart. I just– it was the first time that I had ever seen Asexuality portrayed on television, or in movies for that matter, or to go even further I think it was the only day I’ve seen Asexuality portrayed in any media at all. Period. I at the time already knew I was Asexual, that was already the pos that I had for myself, but I had not actually come out to anybody at that point. I was still in the deck, if you wi
