Critic thinks Modern Family’s Mitch and Cam ‘set gay rights back’. He couldn’t be more wrong

An online critic who claimed Modern Family characters Mitch and Cam “set gay rights back to the ‘90s” has been thoroughly educated on why their comment is so wrong.

Adam Ellis tweeted a photo of the sitcom couple, played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitch) and Eric Stonestreet (Cam) with his opinion.

He added: “The fact that Eric Stonestreet, a straight man, received two Emmys for performing a toxic caricature of gay men, in a show created by two straight men, certainly does not make me feel great!”
