Yesterday in his remarks in support of marriage equality, VP Joe Biden offered a shout-out to late 90's sitcom Will & Grace:
And by the way, my measure, David — and I take a look at when things really began to change, is when the social culture changes. I think Will and Grace probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody's ever done so far.
The show's stars had their own reactions:
Said actor Sean Hayes
"On behalf of everyone who worked on 'Will and Grace', we thank Vice President Biden for his comments regarding our show as well as his support for equality for gay Americans and everyone in the LGBT community."
Tweeted Debra Messing: "@chrisdonovannbc @ericmccormack I could not be more proud. Thank you Mr. Vice President for yer support and yer words about W&G. #humbled"
And Eric McCormack: "Three cheers for VP Joe Biden! Fantastic interview. Now who ELSE is gonna step up?"
