i liked the fact that they had a gay character ,in this case Dales dad was gay and lived a lie and succumbed to pressures from peers and family to do so. What I didn't like was they made him effeminate and did the stereotypical thing of making the gay man use fem pronouns and act like a queen. I do go to gay rodeo and while they do have camp events like goat dressing etc , the men are quite masculine , they aren't all YMCA dancing idiots. This episode used some bad cliches by playing RUPAUL and Village People ,Im surprised they didnt play Barbra Streisand.
Dales dad didn't have to be portrayed as an old queen stereotype nor did they have to use such really bad feminine role models like his lover who was an over the top mexican queen in daisy dukes. i just wish for once they would portray ordinary masculine men who are gay. Plenty of those out there. As for the other reviewer hinting why did he kiss Nancy , he was scared and was not drunk , he didn't want Dale to see him even near the Filipino guy.

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA-
While discussing the Gay rodeo with Bug, Dale uses the term confirmed bachelor which is an outdated euphemism for a homosexual man. Dale does not seem to realize this and uses the term in a more literal sense to describe his dad and creates a kind of double irony.
-
During the flashback at Dale's wedding, the song playing in the background is "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas.
-
The scene where Hank, Bill, Boomhaur, Dale, and Dale's father are standing in the alley drinking beer, Bill is still wearing the small rainbow shirt he got at the Gay Rodeo. Dale's father's partner, Juan-Pedro arrives, and we see Bill again, he's wearing his normal white tank top.

ADD QUOTES-
Dale: I loved my father like a father, and he betrayed me like a betrayer!
-
Nancy: The only people who know about the affair are me, John Redcorn, and God. And you. And Hank. And Bill, and Boomhauer, and possibly Bobby. Oh, and of course John Redcorn's sister -- she's got a mouth on her.
-
Bill: I don't get it. Why would Bug be in a gay rodeo? Hank: Well, the guy's 60 -- maybe he couldn't cut it on the regular circuit. It's like those guys who have to play European basketball, or Canadian football.
-
Joseph (dressed as an Indian) Check it out, Dad! I'm John Redcorn! Dale: I don't see it.

-
Nancy: Why is God punishing me? (to God) Why, sug?

Bug: Oh, sweetie, there's been a huge misunderstanding. I'm gay! Dale: If only that were true. Bug: Dale, it is true! I'm gay! Dale: Nice try, J. Edgar. Bug: Dale! Denial ain't just a club outside McMaynerbury!
-
Dale: Listen up, homosexuals and so-called bisexuals!
-
Nancy: So are you really okay with your dad being gay? Dale: Why would I have a problem with it? John Redcorn's gay, and I've been friends with him for years!
-
Dale: Prepare to be destroyed by the deadliest of all martial arts -- monkey-style! (Makes monkey-like battle gestures) Pressure point! Gouge the eyes! Grab the tongue! Achilles tendon! Bug: I deserved that, and any other kind of monkey-mischief you can throw at me.
