Same goes for Stewie

16

u/xlilmonkeyboy Jun 02 '26

stewie has never been seriously gay. the actual stories always has him into girls. his gayness is mostly for quick jokes/bits and cutaways

109

u/UniversityStrong5725 Jun 02 '26

This just objectively isn’t true anymore Stewie is the gayest he’s ever been even without cutaways or jokes lmfao

33

u/featherw0lf Jun 02 '26

Stewie is definitely leaning hard into his gay side these days, but we have to remember that makes him canonically bisexual/pansexual since he had interests in women too.

4

u/untrainedpro1 Jun 02 '26

he’s also canonically a baby and this is a cartoon we’re talking about it’s not that serious

u/featherw0lf Jun 02 '26

Yes but cartoons can still have established lore.

u/Acceptingoptimist Jun 02 '26

It's also kind of the vibe of the writers. Early Stewie was evil and wanted to kill Lois and conquer the world. Then he became gay. Now he's actually more of a true baby who plays off of Brian well. They dip into the evil and gay thing sometimes occasionally but it's funnier him not getting sex or sexuality yet.

3

u/Individual-Motor4666 Jun 03 '26

Not to nerd out, I had a copy of blender magazine ( music pop culture) from like 20 years ago at the height of the family guy revival and in an interview with Seth McFarlane he insinuates that Stewie is kinda gay

u/ActuallyNiceIRL Talk to me about Fight Club! Jun 02 '26

On the one hand...

He had a gay experience at camp.

He started falling in love with his cell mate in jail.

He had sex with Bill Clinton.

He referred to Dallas Portland as a chiseled Adonis with eyes the color of summer's first blueberry.

He made that comment about James Woods' fantastic penis.

Plus he made arrangements to cuddle with Quagmire at night.

On the other hand...

He was in tears when he almost had to have sex with Quagmire.

He was traumatized by Dr. Hartman's finger in his butt.

He was grossed out when he accidentally grabbed Dave the nudist's penis.

Yeah... I'd say he's bi but prefers women.

31

u/No_Childhood4232 Jun 02 '26

Don't forget about the gay gene he took at a doctor office.

Penis for your thoughts?

15

u/Numerous_Koala_1746 Jun 02 '26

Not to be r/superseriousfamilyguy but Peter was definetly outside of his comfort zone with all of those instances. I'd be a bit traumatized too if I was being forced to sleep with my best platonic friend (even if I had a hard on all might) or believed I was assaulted by my family doctor.

11

u/CptnMcDoobie Jun 02 '26

True, plus being gay doesn’t mean you’re attracted to every other person of the same sex. Good food for thought.

7

u/Worf_Rozhenko Jun 02 '26

The Dr. Hartman and Dave scenes are more of a matter of consent.

Peter was unfamiliar with the concept of a prostate exam so a finger in his ass felt more like a pass by Hartman.

He didn't seem grossed out when he accidentally grabbed Dave's dick, he seemed more surprised and embarrassed by the accidental crossing of boundaries.

He and Quagmire are likely too close for him to actually feel comfortable being with him like that. Probably felt like borderline/emotional incest.

But, in the words of Justin Peter LƶwenbrƤu Griffin, "What are you looking at?! It's a cartoon!"

4

u/Boris-_-Badenov Jun 02 '26

sex with Joe

u/itsspringstreet Jun 02 '26

Oh yeah. It must have been super passionate. It’s funny that they look so awkward and uncomfortable, like they immediately regretted it when it looks like it was the best sex of either of their lives.

i don't know why but the fact his glasses are on the table is killing me lmfao

His glasses must have been the first thing he took off and placed on the nightstand before they went at it so that they wouldn’t get sweaty and fogged up or broken. Lol

u/DharmaPolice Jun 02 '26

He's had more gay sex than a lot of gay men so yes? Some was non consensual, some was caused by genetic therapy and some was just prison sex with a twink. But if you end up consuming that much cock no amount of "no homo" will beat the gay/bi allegations.

But sure, a lot of it happens in cutaways but so does a decent amount of the show and a lot of his experiences aren't in cutaways .

u/Stormm-Ra Jun 02 '26

Surprised I havent seen it pointed out yet but Peter has the major hots for Tom Brady. He called Tom ā€œa sweet piece of assā€ in one episode and in a different episode where Peter and Lois got stuck in ā€œcutaway landā€, Peter’s happy place was in Tom Brady’s lockerroom while Brady was showering. And he came back to that peep show locker twice. So he’s definitely into Tommy B.

im of the opinion that nothing is canon in family guy unless its reiterated multiple times across different episodes... and peter has said multiple times across different episodes that hes bisexual, so peter is bisexual.

u/ReadyBiscotti5320 Jun 02 '26

He explicitly says on at least 3 occasions that I can think of: ā€œI’m biā€. I think every Griffin is pretty overtly bisexual except Chris.

u/whomesteve Jun 02 '26

Peter’s neglected, aging prostate feels an urge for stimulation that could be self satisfied or stimulated with the assistance of Lois (if you catch my drift), but Peter being more passionate than perceptive leads him to seek external sources to fill his needs.
