Within the context of the show, Stuart is quick to point out that he is not a licensed therapist but relies instead upon the credibility of his own experiences as a non-professional. All his romantic partners have names which could be male or female, like Dale, Chris, or Merle. It is frequently hinted that Stuart might be gay, but his sexual orientation is never clearly stated. He is an effeminate man with a perfectly coiffed bleached-blond hairdo, who regularly wears a yellow button-down shirt with a powder blue cardigan. Stuart participates in many (sometimes fictional) programs, not limited to Overeaters Anonymous, Children of Alcoholic Parents Anonymous, and Children of Rageaholic Parents Anonymous. (He attended the meetings in support of his wife, who was battling alcoholism at the time.) Saturday Night Live sketches Franken has stated that his "going to Al-Anon meetings inspired Stuart ".
