...often widely heard. But he hopes that plays like Anna in the Tropics will speak to a broader audience. "It deals with large issues, lost traditions, the importance of art--and it's a classic love story. I feel my characters are residents of the universe," he says. Their creator, for certain, is a resident of America to watch. --By Richard Zoglin. With reporting by Amy Lennard Goehner

The show's creator, Barbara Hall, gave the writers a list of 10 "commandments" ("God cannot directly intervene"; "Everyone is allowed to say no to God, including Joan"). The third dictum is "God can never identify one religion as being right."

If a straight man said the same thing, it would be offensive." The two heroes may be homos, but Straight Dates is targeted directly at straight women, so great care was taken to make sure...
...constantly name-dropping everything from furniture stores (like Pottery Barn and Domain) to shaving products (Neutrogena, Zirh) that the new-and-improved straight guy simply must spend his money on. "We've said this from the beginning, it's not a gay show," says Queer Eye creator David Collins, one of the coproduction team at Scout Productions (Collins is gay; his partner in developing the show, David Metzler, is straight). He came up with the idea in an art gallery in Boston when he saw a group of gay men jump to the defense of a guy being publicly berated...
