Adam Seymour Duckstein (voiced by Jim J. Bullock), is a gay anthropomorphic duck who works as a nurse. His boyfriend, the indigent artist Openly Gator (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, in the style of Harvey Fierstein), is shy and insecure. Their friends throughout the series are Bi Polar Bear (voiced by Ren & Stimpy & Futurama actor Billy West, in the style of Paul Lynde) and the urbane Oscar Wildcat (veteran voice actor Maurice LaMarche). Recurring supporting characters include Queer Duck's in-denial mother (played by Estelle Harris, George's mother on Seinfeld) and the group's nemesis, Dr. Laura Schlessinger (played by prolific voice actress Tress MacNeille).
This outrageous series was created and written by Mike Reiss, a major force behind "The Simpsons" and "The Critic," and a contributor to "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," "Alf," and "It's Garry Shandling's Show."

Review
"Queer Duck: The Movie is the relentlessly funny, feature-length extension of the animated series Queer Duck, created by frequent The Simpsons scripter Mike Reiss. Sexually scandalous yet sweet, the movie is a cascade of pop-culture stereotypes of gays in America, punctuated by rapid-fire references (as with The Simpsons) to, well, just about everything: classic movies, game shows, Gilbert and Sullivan, Paul Lynde. Hey, there's even a storyline: Queer Duck (voiced by Jim J. Bullock) and his partner of 18 months ("That's a lifetime in gay years"), Harvey Fierstein sound-alike Stephen Arlo "Openly" Gator (Kevin Michael Richardson), hit a relationship crisis when the fey fowl is wooed by a brassy Broadway broad. Queer Duck wonders if he'd be happier being straight. While Gator the waiter spills his problems to a compassionate Conan O'Brien (thanks for the cameo), Queer Duck goes on a personal odyssey that ultimately leads to a showdown with a television evangelist at a theme park re-christened Fairyland. One has to see it to believe it. With supporting vocal performances from Mark Hamill, Tim Curry, Estelle Harris, and Maurice LaMarche. "--Tom Keogh
