That's what my JW mother said. Folks, there are plenty of reasons not to watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, but a gay actor playing a straight part is not one of them. I should give her a list of known gay actors and ruin a bunch of movies and t.v. shows for her.
I know she liked Rock Hudson back in the days.
Neil Patrick Harris is one that makes it difficult for gay-haters because he is so likeable.
