Former Savage Garden Singer Darren Hayes Criticises Will & Grace
Darren Hayes
Darren Hayes has criticised gay TV show Will & Grace for perpetuating gay stereotypes.
Speaking to the Gay Times, the former Savage Garden frontman said of the hugely popular TV show:
“I think it appeals to the lowest common denominator that basically there are two types of gay men, the slut, or there’s the straight acting guy.”
In a wider interview Hayes, 37, said that the mainstream pop and television culture had dumbed down homosexuality, and portrayed it as an “indulgent choice”.
Hayes’ own sexuality remained ambiguous for many years and he has a reputation for respecting his privacy. He entered into a civil partnership with his gay partner Richard Cullen in 2006. He originally had married his childhood sweetheart but eventually divorced in 2000.
