For what its worth alot of the gay guys iv worked with and are mates with would probably agree with Will. Obviously that is extremely anecdotal though.
Actually, I sort of agree that Wil didn't
intend those comments in a derogatory way. I think more on the lines that Wil is so stupid he's saying stuff like "did you know gays are aliens? Wtf are you mad at me for, there's nothing wrong with being from Mars."
What Wil never understands is that these ideas of his can be damaging even if he doesn't have a problem with the idea that gays are just having sex mindlessly whenever and wherever. That's how he ends up linking to religious propaganda with a total lack of self awareness.
The idea that gay people are largely the same as the rest of us is a shock to his senses that he just can't handle.
It's up to Wil to explain what he means by "astronomical" and "completely foreign lifestyle", because on the face of it is absurd and insulting.
