Jane Lynch Is Not Just a Lesbian

In a conference call with press, Jane Lynch explained that she won't be involved in any gay themed humor when she hosts the Emmys in September, saying

I'm a person, not just a gay person. So I don't focus on gay things like that. I just focus on good jokes and being funny. I've thought of every aspect of it, I'm very much collaborating with everybody.

While I do love some gay themed humour that's not at the expense of gay people, I have to admit that I appreciate the angle she's coming from here. She's a lesbian on an extremely gay show. It's good that she knows and wants other people to know that being gay is on;y a little bit of a whole person. But I really like Jane Lynch, so if she decided the world needed more gay and made nothing but gay jokes the whole time, I'd probably be defending that, too. But, hey, at least I can admit my bias...
