Until recently all most people knew about gays came from anti-gay forces. It is no wonder that
people think all gays fit some effeminate stereotype. I read somewhere that 30% of all anti-gay hate
crimes are targeted towards straights who are misidentified as being gay. That is why I doubt the
claim made earlier in this thread that 95% of effeminate men are gay. I worked at a social service
agency and for several months after I got there I assumed that the director was gay. He turned out
to be a womanizer.

She was on his latest show one time, and I sat thinking she really looked familiar but couldn't
place her. Then I found out she played the DA on Law and Order (not anymore though).

For what it's worth, I've never really found Flay to be all that arrogant or unpleasant. The show he
did with Jackie Maloof was just annoying in general, but FoodNation and Hot Off the Grill have been
very good.

I think you mean "Hot off the grill with Bobby Flay". It still shows in reruns.

There was Jacqui Malouf, who was his sidekick. She was, IMO ditzy, but I could see how people would
find her beautiful.

He had that show, i think it was called "Boy Meets Grill". I think that's the one Jacqui Malouf co-
hosted with him.

Gay or straight, Hot Off the Grill with Bobby Flay sucked.
