Family guy is known to be unapologetic when it comes to its satire. The display has poked entertaining at many controversial topics like race, gender, abortions, politics, 9/11, religion, and up until now, the LGBTQ people. To me, it makes absolutely no sense for the writers and producers of the display to stop making jokes about homosexual people. Whether you love the styl

Family Guy is known for its politically incorrect humour, but now the team behind the show are making some changes.
Fans of the animated comedy series are used to its often distasteful humour. One character, Joe, is in a wheelchair, and the subject of many of the show's disabled jokes.
Another, Quagmire, is used as a platform for the many references to rape or sexual harassment.
And during the show's season dash, Stewie, the Griffin family baby, has been clap with quips about existence gay.

In this week's nightmarish new episode, Peter Griffin becomes Donald Trump's press secretary. But when Trump sexually assaults Meg Griffin, Peter confronts the president in a lengthy fight that takes them through the landmarks of D.C.
At one point during the fight Trump yells at Peter: “Many children have learned their favorite Jewish, black, and gay jokes by watching your show over the years."
Which is one of the only reliable things this president has ever said—even if it was said by a fictional version of him in a fictional cartoon.
Peter responds: “In fairness, we’ve been trying to phase out the gay stuff. But you perceive what? We’re a cartoon. You’re the president.”
It's a strangely-timed pledge for this show to step back from its trademark homophobia. B
