Flower, pre-rolls, edibles, carts and more.
These 4 Days of 420 are for you.
Showrunners came
this close to making the Chandler character gay, only pulling back after they cast Matthew Perry.
But despite having straightened Chandler out, creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane gave the cast and crew explicit instructions to retain the gay vibe: “write it gay,” they told everyone, “and play it straight.”
I wonder, looking back now, if they had allowed Chandler to be gay or bi, or any other flavor of queer would that have been better? Or would it have been a huge mess?
When
Friends premiered, audiences instantly picked up on the gay undertones. I was combing through newspaper archives from the mid-90s, and a surprising amount of the coverage is devoted to slow, patient explanations that Chandler isn’t gay really, we promise. “We’re not going to tell you again,” fumes one entertainment column.
