- Stewie asks Brian “do you think we were too harsh on him”
- “Stereotypical old married couple”
- In a cut away, Peter is seen trying to convince the government to go to war, he says: “Anyone who doesn’t want to go to war is gay”
- Back when “gay” was used as an insult
- Immediately all the men wanted to go to war and one says, “I was the first one to want to go to war!”
- Men afraid of being called “gay”
- Used as an insult to imply that they were less masculine, “weaker”, more feminine, and they were afraid to be seen that way
