- When they were speaking to Martin Mull about him playing a gay
- character on Roseanne, he said something to effect "I didn't
- know at first my character was to be gay, then they dropped
- the (frown, snicker, pause) *bombshell" on me".
-
- The whole comment had a very negative connotation to it. Nobody
- flagged him on it. Oprah just smiled. I was very disappointed
- in Martin Mull for portraying a gay character and then suggesting
- that he wasn't happy about having done it.
-
- Martin Mull has a very dry sense of humor. I'd be very surprised if
- he's homophobic.
