Monroe is applauded for his decision to become a model citizen. Naturally Nick had to screw that up for him, but when he isn't being bothered by Nick, he resorts back working on being a model citizen. How would Monroe deal with a gay wesen? I can't say why, but I have a feeling that while he wouldn't deliberately harm a gay person, he wouldn't be going out of his way to hang with one either. Thoughts?
Monroe is beloved character. I do not think the Hollywood gay mafia would allow it. At this point in time they (the gay mafia) want there to be what they consider justice for any offense to gays, so Monroe would have to pay a price for any transgression against a gay character. But Monroe is a beloved character, so they would not risk what they would sea as a taint on his character just to deliver a message.
Also Sasha, David ad Bitsie (I do not know about the others) are pretty militant as gay activist so I just don't see it happening due to pressure from the cast.
So I just don't see the script ever occurring. However given the way they have portrayed the character (i.e. with an attitude more in line with someone 20 years his senior) I suspect Monroe would accepting of homosexuality at the micro level but not at the macro level. That seems to be a compromise position many older people have arrived at (myself included)

In both situations, but especially Juliette, Monroe was in a position to talk to them from personal experience. He understood the difficulty and pitfalls of turning away from instinctive, primal urges that would prevent him from enjoying a calm, domesticated lifestyle. And yet, he didn’t reach out to either of them, even to assure them that he understood what they were experiencing or that they possessed the ability to move their lives in positive directions.
Exactly. This is one of the incongruent aspect in the way they portray his character. You have him going out of his way to help the young blats and tell them there is another way but when it comes to someone outside his species, not so much. The dichotomy really does not make much sense. he is far more reflective than that on the whole.

Expand on your thoughts please; thank you.
