    I am unable to understand if this person is lgbt friendly or not. I love The Orville, all 3 season, but it is like the hooker rape sketch in A Million Way To Die In The West. I can’t tell of he’s supportive or mocking

      Based on what I’ve seen him say in a personal context, he’s supportive.

      At the same time he also subscribes to the “everything is allowed in comedy” mindset, where a joke doesn’t need to have any merit outside of getting a laugh out of an audience.

      I highly doubt the transgender alien child forced to convert for the sake of conformity to their culture was just a bit played for laughs.

        Yeah this arc is one adding to my confusion. It can be very supportive, but it is ambigous at the same time.

      He’s a comedian. Until they explicitly express an opinion every controversial topic is simultaneously supported and not supported to allow for maximum joke potential.
