"Will had as much sex on camera as anybody on Friends had on camera. It's a sitcom. Nobody has sex on camera. Will had lots of dates. Will was dating Patrick Dempsey and he married Taye Diggs. ... I think that a lot of the rhetoric in the kind of anti-Will & Grace press was misguided and was from people that had stopped watching the show about three years earlier. A lot happened to Will with regards to romance, with regards to relationships and, like I said, he walked down the aisle in his own apartment with Taye. I think the show actually ended up being -- as much as it got very outrageous near the end, it also got more outspoken. And I think that we weren't necessarily a show for the gay community alone; we were for America to maybe start making some inroads. So, while Queer As Folk or something might have been a more true representation of how the gay community, particularly in cities, lives, I don't think you could find as many young gay people that would say, "Because my parents watched Queer As Folk, I was able to come out to them." What they do say is, "Because my mom loved Will Truman or thought Jack was funny, I was able to tell them when I was 15 or 17 that I was gay," and the show broke ground in that way."- says Eric McCormack, who played Will Truman on Will & Grace, in an interview with Rex Wockner.
