20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn’t Know About Family Guy

2. Seth MacFarlane Has Actaully Confirmed That Stewie Is Gay

Once his matricidal tendencies had been fully explored, Stewie's defining trait has been his emergent homosexuality. From one-shot jokes in cutaways to essentially winking at the audience, it's become a strong recurring joke. It's funny because it's so unsubtle, yet never actually fully stated, making its dominance of the characterisation not too much of a problem.

The veil of ambiguity was, however, destroyed when Seth MacFarlane outed the one year old in Playboy magazine, a totally unnecessary reveal. Still, it's quite interesting to learn; throughout the series the audience has been to hell and back over whether this is definitive, or just a bit of fun.
