>>149110749Also one more thing since I realize someone could bring this up:
>b-b-but he grew up in a less progressive time! Maybe he was afraid to let his true self show! Some men don't have the courage to come out until late adulthood!But that doesn't apply here. I've seen multiple (female) King of the Hill fans talk about meeting Joss, getting friendly with him, and then having him aggressively hit on them and try to get sex out of them until they inevitably end up ghosting him because they're sick of his bullshit. People talked about, like, him calling them up at midnight while masturbating etc. The term "sex pest" got thrown around a lot before he got killed and became a martyr and the trainwreck of his personal life got forgotten.
Even if you want to be charitable and act like his wife is equivalent to a biological man, he was still hitting on other women around the same time, making him bi at most as
>>149110765 said. Though again, even calling him bi is pretty dubious. I'd even say Joss calling himself gay is more a slam at his most recent ex-wife, as he believed she was conspiring against him and so used his current wife being on T as ammunition against her, as in literally saying "yeah my ex-wife sucked so much she turned me gay"
>>149111024Yeah, sorry, I'm a huge King of the Hill fan but I was mixing the OP line up with the similar-but-different line about Redcorn being gay from the episode where Dale and Nancy get back together, which did air in 2000. I think. It's a pretty understandable mistake I think considering it's the same characters/same joke/same scenario.
