I just read the news that Estelle Getty, of “Golden Girls” fame, passed away early this morning.
I was never a big fan of “Golden Girls,” but I know plenty of people (read: gay men) who adored that show, and loved Estelle Getty’s character in particular.

wait a minute! i loved that show!
Its terrible isn’t Amy? The minute you tell someone you love the Golden Girls, they label you a Gay Man. I guess I will never understand the world today.
**goes see what my boyfriend is up too.
Whipping out another fake stat, I’d have to say that 80% of all “Golden Girls” fans are gay men. Everyone knows that. Sure, there may be 20% who aren’t gay men that are fans – but MOST fans are gay men. And those men LOVE Estelle Getty.
80%? That is a bit too high.
Lets break it down. 10 people in a room that like the show Golden Girls… 8 of those people would have to be gay. My family alone would contradict those numbers… we used to watch is as a family.. a family of 5. Of that 5 only 1 became gay… thats about 20%. No Fuzzy Math here.
However, you are correct on one count… Of that 20%.. Yes, they/I LOVE ESTELLE GETTY
Okay, how about this statistic. EVERY GAY MAN I KNOW LOVES “GOLDEN GIRLS.” That’s 100%.
I will give you that one. 🙂
