5 Powerful Episodes of Pride | Will & Grace

[@lawriefoster5587]

I am a 71 year old Gay man who has been married to my Husband for 40 years. I regret not having come out until I was 28 because of living for my family. We have our chosen family now and could not be happier.

[@GothGuy885]

I wish you and your hubby all the happiness that two people in love can have 😀

[@katherineferrett6524]

Congratulations on being married for so long. That’s such an achievement for any couple but especially for a couple that hasn’t always had the wider community support. I hope you have many happy years to come.

[@vincesantiago9323]

I mean whatever happened I’m happy for them

[@MiguelitoD770]

I’ll be forever grateful to have had this show among others growing up over 20 years ago. Just wish Will and Vince had stayed together and he quit devoting his life to everyone else’s happiness but his own.

[@demoss75]

Are you listening to the podcast Just Jack and Will..it's so good only about 5 episodes so far

[@MichaelWydra-wi8nr]

This show really helped me not be ashamed and take on other people's problems with me being a gay boy when this was first on.

This show was so groundbreaking and hysterical. When will told grace that he was not mad just tired, I was so sad. We were moving forward as a Nation and we have now drastically gone backwards.

[@joannadechenne6368]

Amen

When Will says, "I’m tired."

[@KasbashPlays]

This is why I admire shows like Will & Grace, Golden Girls and Fresh Prince. They tackled very real human and social issues with aplomb. Not always perfect endings but with takeaways that stay with you much beyond their respective lifespans.

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

I want to watch those shows

[@xeniamartin5297]

"it's hard being me" is such a powerful statement. Most people don't get that. It's easy to say 'just be yourself', but when you have tried before and get belittled and teased and joked and questioned by the poeple who are suppose to love you no matter what, being yourself is suddenly bad and becomes scary. It can take years to get over that. I'm 31 and can suddenly feel free to be myself more than ever have around my family, but there are still things I can't say or do around them that I freely can around the friends I made at work. But it's getting better. Each new little achievement helps you breath better. Even if it's a small little joke they finally laugh at.

[@lordpuppyrd7989]

The first clip is what made me come out. At age 28. When Will said “aren’t you tired?” That hit is me hard. I was tired and I immediately drove over to my parent’s house and came out. This show is classic and will forever have fond memories. Plus it is funny as hell.

[@princecharmingthemerman]

Me too Will. I just want to live and not have to constantly fight for my right to exist.

[@rishiheda8186]

I really like how Will didn't out Patrick Dempsey's character. That shows what a good person he is. Good writing

[@curiousnarwhal]

as a young gay kid growing up in rural Alabama during the 90s, this show was immensely important for me. the only time i saw gay people at all, they were either dying from AIDS (Pedro Zamora) or hate crimes (Matthew Shepard). It made me feel like being gay was a death sentence. If AIDS didn't kill you, then straight people would. Will and Grace showed gay men living full lives with friends, family, careers... something that i never saw outside of that.

[@marthawall3318]

I cry when I watch Will talking with Jack out on the terrace. Very moving.

[@kwest5171]

It's so funny that in Straight Narrow, Jane Lynch is a counselor at the conversion camp.

[@JerseyRV]

And Andrew Rannells too.

[@brucecoleman5379]

The best cast, writing, directing and acting ever.

[@marthawall3318]

Agreed.

[@DemetriusSorvo]

What I love about this show is that it presents being gay as a whole culture, and not just the sexual aspect of it that most straight people are focused on. This is a fantastic compilation!

[@BakaNeBaka]

This series was the Madonna of the tv shows for the rainbow us... Shall forever love everyone associated with it.... Keep this account going FOREVER!!!!

[@yolandaponkers1581]

Jack telling his grandson that he’s perfect as he is never fails to make me cry. ❤❤❤❤

[@tristyy404]

It's the one-liners they slip in to break the tense moments that made the show great

[@calebcorrea7556]

These are the best moments of the whole sense in my personal opinion.

[@TJDuffy-ip3ue]

Wow. This video came into my life at the perfect time.

[@reedcassiem909]

This show helped me understand myself so much better and helped me come out

[@Rhinogradentian]

This show was a big part of me coming out, in a way. I was preoccupied with it around the same time I fully came out to my parents, and my mom and I ended up watching it religiously for years afterwards, it was a bonding thing. And Will was always the model of a successful strong, confident gay man, I also had a huge crush on him.

[@toramenor]

Each scene was special, but I had forgotten that last one & it's really poignant how Will first says he wants to take a break from fighting all the time, but then he still talks to Martin - nobody gets a day off. Powerful stuff

[@pratyushdubey29]

So many wonderful moments! Happy Pride Month Everyone! 🌈🤩

[@satiashaw1857]

I used to watch this show way back, in secret. Raised Conservative Christian right-wing. I'm extremely straight, but I just never understood why anybody cared what other people do for themselves. I just never understood why it was supposed to be wrong. Why the thought seemed to make everybody that I knew at the time so uncomfortable, so violent. I also had my own secrets, and have learned to be myself. This show was incredible. This show was ahead of its time.

[@gaymer07]

Get the camera off the flames and on the flammers lmao😂😂😂😂

[@naomiclark3640]

Love This Show And Always Will.....& Grace ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@rodneythomas8813]

Fortunate to have an enlightened and accepting mother & family.

[@CajunGators]

I miss the old seasons. Unsurprisingly, Gen Z has already found it to be problematic, of course, but it just goes to show how quickly acceptance was gained in the US by us simply being open and out as ourselves. W&G will be timeless for us who watched this decades ago. ❤️

[@DemetriusSorvo]

This show was a triumph for love in the world.

[@CajunGators]

@@DemetriusSorvo Agreed. Not feeling the reboot but the OG seasons are timeless.

[@kassiogomes8498]

It's OK to like problematic things. It doesn't mean that they aren't problematic.

[@CajunGators]

@@kassiogomes8498 Lmao oh you have it soooo hard 🙄 it’s a problem for you, child. Have a seat.

[@kassiogomes8498]

@@CajunGators we can't change and evolve as a society if we don't talk about our flaws. A 2000s show is full of problematic things, and we say it's problematic because we want to be better.

[@theronaldophotography4971]

Wow! These are really powerful scenes. W&G is really a groundbreaking TV sitcom.

[@KH-nt7ej]

I loved the Will and Grace reboot. Maybe more than the original series.

[@janellerollins5893]

Not me. But to each their own. 😎

[@calebcorrea7556]

I actually watched the reboot first, then went back and watched the originally. Both were done so well.

[@StefenTower]

I think the original had more energy but in the reboot the characters seemed freer to say just about anything and be exactly who they are. I'm basically saying they were both great but a little different.

[@xmichaelwood]

This show helped me learn to be okay with who I was..... who I am. Thank you W&G&J&K

[@superkornfreak1]

"I want a day off" damn. That's the one that got me 😢

[@thobiem]

The blood donation thing is weird. Blood gets tested and screened before its added to those bloodbanks, right? So they'd know if there was something wrong with it before it even gets accepted. All those weird invasive questions are just weird and invasive.

[@futasupastah]

Yeah, there’s a lot of prejudice still. And there are restrictions to this day on who can donate blood

[@JD_300]

Will Truman can wear anything and look fabulous in it. Will probably owns leopard underwear and Versace speedos. The way he dresses sometimes women need to tell him that there are gonna be a lot of disappointed women tonight

[@carebear27203]

I just love this show

[@DMontero17]

Grace's dad did not deserved to be excused, what he said after all these years is just awful, he is indeed a bad person and clearly does not love Will enough to be up to date with medicine.

"Will is just a fat lawyer"

[@maryfitz3049]

I didn't like that Will and Grace were trying to force Jack to tell his mother. It's Jack's decision and none of their business. Let Jack tell who he wants when he wants.

[@Sas-rf9sy]

Wills little speech about being tired of hiding who he was is really relatable to many and you don't have to be gay. It's really just about being accepted as you are. A sense of belonging. Being included as you are by society. Because having to change yourself to fit the expectations of others is tiring. In the long run it can probably give rise to serious conflicts within yourself to the point where you think you can't be loved, liked or accepted how you are and must accept being a fake version of yourself to make others happy. Sadly it doesn't work for everybody as it works out for Jack.

[@jaya.d-gauthier1644]

I took that entirely differently tbh. For me it was sad how over seasons Will became less of himself and more stereotypical and needing to be “good guy activist” when he had been accepted all along. He chose Grace over several relationships, Jack’s trivial matters of “injustice” like a kiss on TV, and everyone else’s drama. He lost all his confidence while Jack lived happily ever after and the only difference between the two was valuing one’s own happiness.

[@demoss75]

[@MiguelitoD770]

Over that hoax case of ambulance chasers who made us look insane? Didn’t think there were any LGBT people who didn’t see through that lie as if we’d want to force someone to take our money to make something our family and friends are to eat? Maybe Will’s detriment was making his entire being a gay man with something to prove that he didn’t allow himself love like with Vince. Wish they’d stay together.
