I just happen to come across an article which says that he got married in 2010 (to a chick). I could have sworn I read that he was gay. Not closeted, just never saw the need to talk about it. I know it wasn’t about MacFarland, am I just remembering wrong?!

Never thought that about either of them, but I don’t follow gossip mags.

Now I can’t get the image of Seth Green and Seth MacFarland locked in sweaty, steamy embrace, fingers fumbling timidly at the breaking point, slowly, slowly out of my mind. Thanks a lot.

Why couldn’t this have been about Jessica Alba and Lucy Liu?

Not only is he not gay, but a close friend of mine was his lover off and on for awhile. She reports that he’s one of the best lovers she’s ever had.

Never heard he was gay.

He is part of the new generation where comedically pretending to be gay is no big deal and feels no need to “no homo.”

[MacFarlane.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_MacFarlane) No d. I really, really have no idea where people keep getting a d from in his name.

I for one have no idea where you got that idea. In everything I’ve seen him in (including interviews) he’s been rather explicitly hetero.

“McFarlane” and “McFarland” are pronounced identically as far as I can tell, to the point that I (whose surname is the latter) have been asked by people who heard me say my last name aloud if I was any relation to Seth or Todd.

He’s wicked short, but that’s not the same as gay.

Okay, I’m convinced. I must have confused him with another Seth maybe. I remember those great bits on _The Soup_ where he played that YouTube _“Leave Britney alone!!”_ freakazoid, but I knew that was just a bit.

Doesn’t matter one way or another, just thought I read he was…

I’ve never thought that Seth Green was gay. However, who knows how effective my gaydar is to begin with?

Are you sure you weren’t thinking of director Bruce Seth Green? (not that I have any reason to believe he’s any more gay than Seth Green is)

Oddly, both of them worked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Interestingly, _Radio Days_ just came on TV, and I have to say, of all the child actors who played the young Woody Allen over the years, Green is by far the best.

I sort of like Seth Green, but when out of curiosity I googled pics off them together, I have to say he is wearing a rather unbecoming smirk in many of them :).

Well, only if you weren’t paying very close attention. I can’t remember a time I didn’t know he was gay…but maybe that’s because I grew up in Hollywood.

I’ve always heard Seth McFarlane’s name pronounced like it’s spelled, with a long A in the third syllable.

_looking at him then looking at her_

_ignoring him and looking at her some more_

Can you blame him? Boy’s UGLY with an annoying voice.

_going back to look for the NSFW photos of her_

Weird coincidence. Just watched a clip on YouTube in which Seth’s sister, Rachael MacFarlane, introduces herself. She definitely says “lane,” not “lun” (don’t know how to type a schwa — sorry).
