“The One With the Lesbian Wedding” (January 18, 1996)

Carol and Susan forever! In our previous look at Friends, we concluded that the ten-season sitcom put homosexuality in a bad light. Around the same time, everyone else concluded that as well, but what if season two’s “The One With the Lesbian Wedding” actually doesn’t suck so hard? Emelie Burnette Battaglia Balenciaga returns to talk about the episode the second Friends episode that ties LGBT issues with a recently deceased old lady.

Read ”So Was Friends Homophobic?” by Kelsey Miller and watch “Homophobic Friends,” a 50-minute supercut of Friends’ lamest LGBT moments.

Watch Being Frank, that movie Glen wrote, either on DVD or on digital.
