Difference between revisions of "Flaming Moe"

Moe and Smithers turn Moe's into "Mo's", a gay bar. Meanwhile, Principal Skinner uses Bart to get closer to dating a substitute music teacher after finding out that he is dating her daughter.

Plot

Mr. Smithers discovers that he isn't included in Mr. Burns' will. When confronted, Burns tells him he only respects "self-made men". An upset Smithers tries to cheer himself up by going to a gay bar but is denied entrance because he isn't attractive like the rest of the men in the bar. He stops by Moe's Tavern and notices how slow business is. Smithers proposes to Moe that they refurbish the bar and make it into a more accepting gay bar. By doing so, he hopes to earn Mr. Burns' respect by building a successful business in addition to having a place to feel accepted. Moe's is turned into an ultra-trendy gay bar. The bar's new visitors come to believe that Moe is gay. Moe pretends to be gay in fear of destroying their business. Moe then goes on to become even more popular than Waylon, so popular with the local gay community that they push Moe to run for the city council to become the first "openly gay" council member.

Smithers then attempts to "out" Moe as straight while Moe is announcing his candidacy. He demands that Moe kiss him as proof that he is really gay. Puckering his lips, Moe leans into Smithers, but at the last minute cannot and announces that he was lying. The crowd is upset and leaves. Before Moe leaves, he grabs Smithers and kisses him, afterward saying "Like frisbee golf, I'm glad I tried it once". Moe's Tavern is reverted back to it's old appearance.
