The long-predicted middle-America backlash to the hit Bravo series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy may have been ushered in in Helena, Montana, where the conservative Montana Family Coalition has condemned the show as "outrageous." Executive Director Julie Millam told the Helena Independent Record Wednesday: "A really good reality show for gay people would be five gay men dying of AIDS." Furthermore, the group decried the increasing visibility of gay characters on primetime TV. "I'm hearing from people left and right, that every time they turn on the TV it's something to do with gay people. It's not reality," Millam told the newspaper. But Karl Olson, director of the gay rights group PRIDE, dismissed the coalition's complaints, saying that anti-gay groups are "losing the culture war."
