Any time a gay man/woman with pierced ears takes their earrings out you know shits gonna go down lol

[@CFernandoC]

lol he took his earrings off placed them on the table than left the kitchen with the plate all fem and delicate and after the "Tip your waitress" he got all fem again walking all delicate back to the kitchen lol

To embarrass them in front of all those people even further, he showed them they just got their asses kicked by the same type of person they were initially criticizing a GAY PERSON and even further that it was a fem lol as he took off his earrings began moving all delicate and after he punch the stuffing out of them resumed his delicate girlie way walking back to the kitchen moving his hips left right left right and wrist all bent and gay

[@typoking]

I love Lafayette in this scene, but I also love Arlene. She goes out of her way to try not to offend people because she's genuinely a sweet character. Even the way she says "oohhh Fuuudge!" to avoid cursing seems almost like she didn't even want to say that word THAT way. Loved this entire series until the last couple seasons.

[@JohnSmith-xg9wx]

Did we watch the same show? Arlene is not a sweet character.

[@SilverFlame819]

OMG, I love him. Best portrayal of a gay character by a straight man, EVER. So natural and flawless. What a loss.

[@GenTheBeetle]

I'm here because I'm re reading the series and it reminded me that Lafayette in the books didn't make it past book 1 and I'm pretty sure that because of scenes like this, he became a fan favorite and therefore solidified his spot as a permanent character in the show. It's one of the few things I'm glad they changed from the books. I wish Charlaine Harris would have had him like this in the books.
