Drama! Has Waylon Smithers...moved on from C. Montgomery Burns??? Maybe!
On the upcoming November 21st episode of The Simpsons, Smithers is said to be getting his first-ever public boyfriend, a billionaire voiced by Victor Garber.
How does Mr. Burns feel about this??
In all seriousness, the writer of this episode was inspired by his own son's coming-out story to write Smithers's coming-out episode back in 2016. Patty Bouvier, Marge Simpson's sister, also came out as a lesbian in a past episode.
What other cartoon characters do you think are in the closet?
