"Arguably, so is Arthur"

not exactly. they are two very different things. it's true, they are both entertaining TV shows but Arthur is more educational and serious, even if funny ... he's even mature enough, despite being a cartoon for children, when it comes to facing and solving moral and sentimental dilemmas that they involve children in real life (for example, learning to deal with bullying), very differently from I Now Pronunce You Larry and Chunk. the latter, on the other hand, is a bit more demented comedy .... a film that does not teach and makes you think a lot or nothing, if only to make people laugh and nothing else.

"Can you prove that?"

But are you serious? Are you kidding, right? It is now an obvious thing, after what Marc Brown said in his last interview. Perhaps you did not understand what I mean about the difference between the two marriages mentioned, and for this reason I will try to explain more clearly: the one between Larry and Chuck is a fake marriage, a fraud based on an agreement between two friends. The relationship between Ratburn and Patrick is a serious and real thing, based on the mutual choice of love between two men. Marc Brown said he wanted to represent something that exists in real life on his show: the love between two people of the same sex. love is a serious and important thing, it is not a game nor a joke. and for this reason, the marriage between Nigel and Patrick cannot be considered a joke nor a scam, because it is based on the true feeling of love.

"He looked interested in Paige when they danced the tango in "Dancing Fools"

This sounds strange, said by someone like you who said in another comment not to fall into prejudices, stopping only at appearances. instead, in this discussion you are doing it. I'm sorry to tell you, but this is not enough proof to indicate that Ratburn is bisexual, for two obvious reasons. One, dancing with a person does not necessarily mean being in a romantic relationship. It can also happen between two friends, who do it simply for pure fun. for example, I danced with my best friend at a high school party, despite being both heterosexual women. it was all just for fun. It is also known that some gays love to dance a lot, and to participate in a dance competition in public and to train them they do it with their best female friends who offer help. in a dance competition in front of the public, it is difficult to consider two people of the same sex dancing together, since it is not so easy to do it in front of the public. Second reason, Ratburn has never expressed feelings directly, nor romantic reactions such as blushing or looking dreamily or stuttering gentle words, in front of Paige. vice versa also for Paige. moreover, they are seen together only for a few seconds.
