Bug Gribble (King of the Hill)

Introduced in the 2002 King of the Hill episode My Own Private Rodeo, Dale’s father is estranged from his son for years because of a confusing moment in which Bug spontaneously kissed his new daughter-in-law, Nancy, to conceal his homosexuality.

Dale later comes to believe his father is secretly in the FBI, and “outs” him as a federal agent in front of all of his fellow gay rodeo enthusiasts. When Bug and his partner kiss, Dale finally comes to accept two truths about his dad: He is gay, and is not in the FBI.
