Dead gay son

I've heard people criticise this song for a number of reasons. A throwaway one liner in the movie was turned into an overly distant tangent that does not advance the plot and concerns two characters (Bill and Paul) that the audience does not concern about. This criticism is completely valid and one of the reasons I don't talk about this song much.

A second criticism I have heard is that Bill and Paul behave unreasonably in this scene. Now to that I have to verb - that's the whole point.

Remember in the movie how the scene goes?

Kurt's dad: My son is a homosexual. And I love him. I love my dead gay son.

JD: I wonder how he would react to a son with a limp wrist and a pulse.

Veronica: *laughs - See's Kurt's sister crying - face falls*

The joke here is that Mr. Kelly is not actually cured of his homophobia. If his child was alive and gay he would most likely not react with love and acceptance. There's a fakeness to the funeral that JD draws Veronica's attention to. One that she laughs at initially, but backs away from when she sees the genuine grief on K
