He also refused to let Chandler cheat on Monica- he made the writers change the script❤ I'm so sad he's gone

[Exceltiaawesome]

I always saw his relationship with his father as not him loathing his father due to their sexual/gender identity, but because they were absent and neglected him and his mother, instead going off to be promiscuous with strangers (and their family maid).

RIP Matthew. You will be missed by so many. You were a talented amazing actor. Thank you for being an iconic advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

We must talk about the fact that the man who wrote all these "homophobic" scenes is gay himself and was the first person to write an LGBT wedding on prime time television in the 90s

His dad wasn't trans, he was a drag queen. There was a time during the movement when one was admonished for not knowing the difference. Now the terms are conflated.

He also stood up very stoically for the dignity and fair treatment of those fighting addiction. Bless this good man, and may he rest well.

[Pickles]

As a gay that has watched all of friends it is not at all homophobic! I don't know why everyone says it was.



Woah this thing blew up! Sorry I'm not replying to any comments.

[idkmannnnnnnn]

as a lesbian me and the rest of the lgbtq+ community will miss him dearly, rip matt and rest easy :(

[VD_SUPRNVA]

I'm sorry but the "And there's daddy." Got me WHEEZING..

Charles Bing isn't trans. He's a gay drag queen, who's drag name is Helena Handbasket.

I really don’t think Charles was transgender. I really just think he did drag.

Edit: I am trans

Why do people say that Friends was homophobic? They were actually pro-gay for their time. It included a lesbian couple that had a prominent role in Ross's life and they even showed a wedding, I think the first gay wedding on tv. The gay jokes were all made with good intentions and it's never viewed as a bsd thing on the show. People talkin out their ass.

[ZachClarkFilms]

Chandler was not homophobic or transphobic his dad was a drag queen which is not transgender. Chandler was straight and called gay and felt offended that they thought he like guys. I bet you’d be offended if people walked up to you wearing a pride flag saying oh where’s your wife or anything like that, I’d bet you’d be offended that somebody make that assumption

[AnastasiaWarden]

Matthew Perry was also a Christian. Proof that whether we agree or disagree in life, we can still all respect one another!

[kasi-]

He loved us LGBTQ ppl and loosing him was one of the worst blows I've had in a while as a friends fan and bisexual. RIP MATTHEW WE LOVE YOU 🥹🥺🫡

[dmf]

Oh for God’s sake! He wasn’t being homophobic - Chandler is just not GAY! It’s not homophobic to not be gay! 🤦‍♀️

[Noxthesergal]

He was against misinformation til the end Godspeed legend

[xmanNo]

Mathew Perry will forever be in our memories. I learned English watching friends. RIP.

[travellolo]

He refused to be labeled gay for comedy. Whether he was or wasn't is his business. Not everything has to be about you, Dorothy.

[latalik]

Please leave friends alone. Its not something that was made for now... he refused to be a lot of nasty things normal people should refuse to be. He was a good man all round and just as chandler alone he brought joy x
