Three Gays of the Condo

"Three Gays of the Condo" is the seventeenth episode of the fourteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

In this episode, Homer learns that Marge was planning on leaving him but got pregnant with Bart, so he thinks that is the reason she stayed with him.

On the back, Marge wrote that Homer made the opening the worst night of her life by making her sit there while he got drunk and played an arcade game.

Wondering why Marge stayed with him, Homer finds a hospital appointment card dated two days later, confirming she was pregnant with Bart.

Harvey Fierstein was asked to reprise his role as Karl from the second season episode "Simpson and Delilah" in a cameo appearance.

Fierstein however felt that "the script was a lot of very clever gay jokes, and there just wasn't that Simpsons twist" and turned the role down.

[3][4] In December 2018, as part of the 30th anniversary of the series, this episode was selected by executive producer Al Jean to represent the fourteenth season during a Simpsons marathon on FXX.

He thought this episode, which was another one that dealt with a separation of Homer and Marge, "had been done many times before and was a weak device to get to the observational and situational comedy.

"[8] On Four Finger Discount, Guy Davis and Brendan Dando called the content regarding homosexuality to be "more sensitive and insightful and fun and inclusive" than the rest of the episode although it would be insensitive in 2021.
