There’s going to be a big fat gay wedding on ABC’s Modern Family. It’s just a matter of when.
“There is no doubt that is going to happen,” says actor Eric Stonestreet, who expects his character Cameron will get hitched to partner Mitchell, played by Jessie Ferguson.
“I don’t know how that would happen with the real life legality…Maybe it would be a destination (wedding). Us going somewhere that gay marriage is legal. But they have to save some of that stuff. We hope to be on the air for seven years.”
Gay marriage is one of the hot-button topics that have long been not-so-accidentally avoided by the Emmy nominated comedy.
“Frankly we have stayed away from anything that feels overtly political,” producer Christopher Lloyd tells The Post. “It is just not the style of our show. But we wouldn’t rule it out.”
Lloyd does confirm one storyline for the upcoming season: the couple will consider adopting a second child.
“They will talk about it because I think they have been pleasantly surprised with the experience so far,” he says. “But I don’t think it is something we will rush in to.”
