Hasn’t Smith been pretty clear that he’s had an Obama-style “evolution” on gay rights(!)? This is a lonnnnng time ago.

No offense to the OP at all, but this is like tea that's been left on the front porch for a couple of decades. My ire is directly purely to this Simon person. Why the fuck would he even bring this up now?

Why is he bringing it up now? Will was young and has been nothing but supportive of his kids so this producer is alot.

He was being interviewed about the history of the show for a book about teen television shows.
