Cartoon baby Stewie Griffin, from the animated comedy series Family Guy has been outed by the show’s creator Seth MacFarlane as gay.

In an interview with gay magazine, The Advocate, MacFarlane said the show’s writers have kept the character’s sexuality ambiguous because they could get jokes ‘from both sides’.

While the show’s writers believe Stewie is “almost certainly gay”, he thinks the character himself is “in the process of figuring it out for himself”.

The acclaimed show often features gay sub-plots exploring gay marriage, adoption rights and AIDS. MacFarlane’s other successful creation, American Dad features and alien character who, like Stewie, is also famous for his effete mannerisms.

Thelma Griffin (born c. 1924) is a fictional character on the animated television series Family Guy.

Thelma is the mother of Peter Griffin. She is 82 years old, and has grey hair with noticeable wrinkles below her eyes. She has purple earrings and a purple bead necklace. She also wears glasses like her son and husband and is a heavy smoker (which is backed up by her coughing fit).

Her first appearance was in a cut-off scene with Francis, her ex-husband. She mentions that she is on a gambling spree in Las Vegas. Later, near the end of the same episode, Thelma is heard through the front door of the Griffin’s House, requesting a place to stay, and telling Peter to “Break out the Schnapps”. This, in turn, causes the entire family to run towards a “Pod” and blast off, presumably into space.

In another episode, Thelma later divorces Francis and starts dating Tom Tucker for a short while, before leaving him to continue a free life away from commitment.

After Francis dies in Peter’s Two Dads, she reveals to Peter that Francis is not his real father, adding that Peter’s birth was the result of her having relations with a man called Mickey McFinnegan.

And of course, some Thelma Griffin quotes:

Thelma Griffin: [on the phone] Hello?
Peter Griffin: Uh, hello, yes, this is… uh… this is Tom Tucker’s personal physician, Dr. T and the Women. Um, could you tell Tom his contagious penis cancer medicine is ready?
Thelma Griffin: Is this Peter?
Peter Griffin: Uh, no, it’s, uh, uh, Lois. Uh, Lois, don’t crank call my mother! I’m gonna have to pinch you for that!
Lois Griffin: Ow! Peter, Don’t pinch me! Ow! Stop it! Ow!
Peter Griffin: Ow! Damn it! Cut it out! Maybe I’ll tickle you, huh? How about that?

Peter Griffin: I can’t believe you left Dad.
Thelma Griffin: I have needs that he didn’t satisfy, and I’m still a young woman, Peter. 82 is the new 74. I’m putting my fine ass back on the market.
