"Homer's Phobia" is the Emmy Award-winning 15th episode of '' The Simpsons '' SYNOPSIS While trying to Scam neighborhood children with a Lottery game, Bart destroys the Clothes Dryer , costing the Simpsons $900. Marge decides to sell an old family heirloom to pay for the damage, and the family heads off to ''Cockamamie's'', an offbeat Antiques shop. While disparaging the store's Camp merchandise, Homer meets the equally offbeat antique dealer, John. He invites John to the Simpsons' house to see the valuable, worthless Crap there. Homer says he likes John, until Marge informs him that John is a Homosexual . Homer Turns Against John, refusing to see him and interrogating the family when they return ("He didn't give you ''gay,'' did he?"). Meanwhile, the rest of the Simpsons continue to enjoy John's company, especially Bart, whose behavior (wearing Hawaiian Shirt s, dancing in Drag , etc.) makes Homer ill at ease. Homer endeavors to make Bart more "manly" by forcing him to look at a Cigarette Billboard featuring scantily-clad women, but this only leads to Bart developing a taste for slim cigarettes. Homer then takes him to see a Steel Mill 's muscle-bound workforce, only to find that the factory is entirely staffed by flamboyantly gay workers. A desperate Homer insists on taking Bart Deer Hunting with Moe and Barney , but when they can find no deer, they decide instead to ambush Reindeer in a pen. This backfires, and the reindeer attack them. John, with the help of Lisa and Marge , uses a Santa Claus toy to scare off the reindeer and save the hunting party. Homer accepts John, more or less, and tells Bart that any way he lives his life is "okay" by him. The episode is dedicated to the Steelworkers of America ("Keep reaching for that rainbow"). TRIVIA
