The Real O’Neals star Noah Galvin is defending his show which is under fire for a recent attracted to both genders joke.
In last week’s episode, Galvin’s gay teenage personality Kenny O’Neal compared being bisexual to having ‘webbed toes’ or ‘money problems.’
Galvin, 24, points out that Kenny still has a lot to learn.
‘I think that it’s important to grasp that these writers … they’re writing an authentic teenager who is still learning and evolving and has never met a attracted to both genders person in his life,’ Galvin told me at the Gay and Female homosexual Entertainment Critics Association’s annual Winners Toast in Los Angeles on Saturday.
After the episode aired, bisexual actress Sara Ramirez took to Twitter to utter she was ‘truly disheartened and disappointed’ by the writing of the joke.
Ramirez had worked for the similar network, ABC, for 10 years playing bisexual doctor Callie Torres on Grey’s Anatomy.

Pals, it’s been quite the year for queer Jewish icon engagements.
In June, Beanie Feldstein revealed via Instagram post that she had gotten engaged to longtime girlfriend Bonnie Chance Roberts. Then, in August, “Broad City” and “A League of Their Own” star Abbi Jacobson confirmed to People Magazine that she was engaged to girlfriend Jodi Balfour.
And now, Jewish performer Ben Platt announced that he and Nice Jewish Partner Noah Galvin are also engaged!!!
In an Instagram post from today, captioned “he agreed to suspend out forever 💕,” Ben shared photos of what appears to be the moment he proposed to Noah at Brooklyn’s trendiest Israeli restaurant, Laser Wolf. Somewhat reminiscent of BFF Beanie’s engagement, Ben and Noah are surrounded by a beautiful arrangement of flowers and candles — though it’s the pair that seems to be glowing the brightest. (Also, one has to wonder if Queen Bean was present for the big moment, as Ben was present for hers!)

Noah Galvin Has Nothing to Hide
The 2016 Emmy race has begun, and Vulture will take a fasten look at the contenders until voting closes on June 27.
Noah Galvin is smoking a cigarette next to a bodega on the corner of 97th and Broadway when I spot him. He has slight stubble and plain bedhead coiffed at a 45-degree angle, as though he had woken up not too long ago at his mom’s apartment around the block, where he stays when he’s in New York. He had flown in from Los Angeles for the network upfront presentations because his show, The Real O’Neals, was getting a second-season pickup from ABC.
Galvin comes from the New York theater world, where he started out at 9 years old in a community theater production of Oliver. The Real O’Neals is his first major foray into television. He plays a 16-year-old Catholic-school student named Kenny who comes out of the closet to his religious family and academy in the pilot. Galvin, who just turned 22, is gay himself, but that’s where most of the similarities between him and his character conclude. Whereas Kenny is wide-eyed about his burgeoning sexuality, like a true New Yorker Galvin is forthright about his opinions, or as he calls himself, an
Whenitcame to gay life in Hollywood, the young star of ABC's " The Real O'Neals” didn't hold back in an interview with New York magazine's Vulture blog.
Calling himself a “anxiety-ridden, neurotic, nebbishy Jew actor,” Noah Galvin sounded off on everything from closeted gay stars to the portrayals of same-sex relationships on television. His remarks were eyebrow-raising, to say the least.
The 22-year-old had strong words in particular for "Arrow" star Colton Haynes, who finally addressed his sexuality in an Entertainment Weekly interview in May after years of media speculation. Deeming Haynes "the worst," Galvin dismissed the star's subtle references to his confidential life in interviews and on social media as "f**king p*ssy bullsh*t."
"That’s not coming out," Galvin, who is openly gay, said. "That’s like, enough people take for granted that I sleep with men, so I’m just going to slightly confirm the fact that I’ve sucked a dick or two." Haynes' decision to deal with the rumors, he added, is "not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material."
The discussion soon turned to Galvin's "Real O'Neals" character, Kenny O'Neal. In a less-than-subtle dig at
