‘If You Don’t Like Watching Gay Sex On TV, Change The Channel.’ Michael Urie To Billy Crystal
While promoting his upcoming new FX series, professional Oscars host Billy Crystal recently launched into a homophobic tirade about all the icky gay sex happening on TV lately, telling Television Critics Association, “Sometimes I think, ‘Ah that’s too much for me.’ Sometimes, it’s just pushing it a little too far for my taste.”
The 66-year-old veteran suffered some criticism for his remarks, and had to double-down.
Now, actor Michael Urie has responded to Crystal’s comments in the best way possible.
Speaking to the blog NewNowNext, the Ugly Betty star, Urie said: “I don’t think it’s overexposed. If gay sex on TV is too much for you, change the channel and don’t watch it.”
“I think there is far too much football on TV,” he continued. “But I’m not going around saying they should take football off the air; I’m changing the channel.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Those are my two fav sports, especially rugby
Mercury

chestnut
January 28, 07:09Ah rugby! I swear I don’t understand the rules,but beefy men with thick thighs and thick buns in short shorts,chasing and catching and groping and grinding and pressing and rubbing and humping one another orgy-style? What other rules do I need to understand biko? The game is very very clear to me!
Mercury
January 28, 07:18LMAO!!!!!, of course it is. I always wonder is all rugby and baseball players do squats, the cakes on those men are cray cray.
chestnut
January 28, 08:02@Mercury: it’s d game that gives them those amazing cakes and thighs…plus,they consume a lot of protein too!
Max
January 28, 09:29Its the gayest game ever … The things they do to each other on the pitch..
DeadlyDarius
January 28, 06:39I never watched Ugly Betty (dodges stones & shrapnel) but I loved him his 1 season series Partners and his Modern Family cameo….both are still in my laptop. Change the freaking channel, dude! I skip most of E!, reality shows, all of Africa Magic and boring sports like cricket. Rugby is only cool for me in highlights leaving football (soccer, PP :-p) and tennis as my sports loves.
Gooner forever here!
