Editing Jack Tripper (section)

==Introduction==
Janet, another character in the show, reasoned with the landlord, [[Stanley Roper]] who lived downstairs and he agreed that Jack could stay because Janet told Mr. Roper that Jack was [[gay]], without Jack's knowledge. Jack was, however, actually [[heterosexuality|straight]] (the comedy stemming from having to "play gay" provided much of the story for the sitcom).<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ze05F08hjKUC&pg=PT34&dq=jack+tripper+gay#q=jack+tripper+gay|title=With Love and Laughter, John Ritter|first=Amy|last=Yasbeck|date=7 September 2010|publisher=Simon and Schuster|isbn=9781439150566|accessdate=26 February 2019|via=Google Books}}</ref> Jack is something of a ladies' man, but is also kind-hearted, loyal, and protective of the women he lives with.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/lookbothwaysbise00baum|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/lookbothwaysbise00baum/page/109 109]|quote=jack tripper gay.|title=Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics|first=Jennifer|last=Baumgardner|date=4 March 2008|publisher=Farrar, Straus and Giroux|accessdate=26 February 2019|via=Internet Archive}}</ref>
