''The Office'' portrays homosexuality in a positive light and goes as far as to promote it (clear example: [http://www.nbc.com/the-office/episode-guide/season-3/59065/gay-witch-hunt/episode-301/59066/ NBC.com] [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0859444/ IMDb], an episode that includes a homosexual looking directly at the camera and saying "Kids, sometimes it pays to be gay.") --[[User:Ty|Ty]] 17:10, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

:Also, the early episodes do indeed indulge in "political correctness."  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_Day The very second episode] covers the subject, where Michael offends everyone and makes everybody uncomfortable because he keeps talking about race and holds others to racial stereotypes.  The whole episode is about him being insensitive to other cultures and how it's bad.  I'd also like to point out that Ricky Gervais, the creator of the original The Office and one of the big brains behind the American series is an atheist and probable liberal, and likely had much influence over development.  Particularly in the earlier episodes.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 17:27, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

::Thank you for refreshing our memories, Camille. The piece Gervais wrote in ''The Wall Street Journal'' of December 22, 2010 says it all: [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703886904576031640102154156.html Why I Do Not Believe in a God] ("In a provocative essay at Christmas, a British writer and comedian explains why he remains an avowed atheist").--[[User:Ty|Ty]] 17:48, 20 September 2011 (EDT)
