  1. Lifestyle of Gay Men: • ex. The gay couple in Modern Family (Mitchell and Cameron)Mitchell is working as a lawyer (thus has the job of a stereotypical husband who brings the money in) Cameron works at home, mostly cleaning and looking after their adapted child (thus covering the role of a stereotypical woman). However Cameron has worked as a music teacher in a school portraying his love for music and kids as well as his interest in theatrical musicals, as we get to see an episode of him arranging one. • According to society, the one is presented as a woman and the other one more as a man • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mh4eXrQ34U at 0:45 • -they wish to become a family therefore they adapt a Vietnamese child • and are both actively involved in the child’s growing up eg. They both take her at school, and take different classes with her where parents stay with their children, and also gymnastics classes where Cam and Mitchell's competitive spirits has the rest of the parents turning on them. ( so one could argue that gay men are a little more enthusiastic and passionate about what they love and support)  -Gay couples can be amazing parents and get really caught up in that • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsvBfkM7s4I
