Nick Offerman had the very best response for the ‘homophobic hate’ aimed at his Last of Us storyline
We wouldn’t be the first person, obviously, to heap praise on the fabulous post-apocalyptic drama The Last Of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
We loved everything about it, and the most memorable episode was surely its third one, Long, Long Time, telling the story in flashbacks of Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett).
And we mention it because Offerman, accepting the Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series award at the Independent Spirit Awards, had the very best response for the bigoted criticism of the storyline.
“It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you arsehole.”

Absolutely, 100% that.
This episode is one of the most lovely yet heartbreaking pieces of TV ever made

It was one of the greatest hours in television and the people who are unable to see the beauty in it….well, that's the reason they're the way they are isn't it?

That episode alone was greater than the majority of movies that have come out in the last decade.
