Posted: Jan 22nd 2011, 1:45 pm
According to autostraddle.com Winnie Holzman and Wilson Cruz talk about the portrayal of gay teens in television shows in the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Holzman: “It wasn’t even a problem with the network. The thing I got the most pushback about was in the pilot, when he puts eyeliner on in the girls’ bathroom. I remember I mentioned The Crying Game, which had just come out, and Michael Jackson wearing eyeliner [to convince the network]. So they went with it.”
