Fish

Eric: the stigma on clown fish was lost with nemo. FACT.
me: there was a stigma? was nemo the Kunta Kinte of our generation?
EF: yeah. well, until they come out with the gay Roots.
me: wasn't that Angels in America? sure was as long as Roots.
EF: maybe Milk? i think when they start showing elementary school kids Milk, then we can call it gay Roots. until then, i think the metaphor falls short.
