I think W&G is funny and well-written, but I don't think it's any more a realistic depiction of homosexuality than Scrubs (which I also find funny) is a realistic depiction of a hospital

We need another Ellen type of show to come out. I know we have Queer As Folk, but that show is WAAAAAAAAAY too soap operaesque. Way too sensational to be looked at as anything more than a gay soap.

I agree (btw im bi, so im sometimes gay)
BS79 you have some great opinions and ideas

The gay community has made so much progress in the last 10 years yet there are still people out there who hate us and want us to die of AIDS and go to hell.

Personaly I really dont care about people who say things like that and think things like that. Because no matter what you are there are always gonna be pole who hate you for somethin. No matter if your gay bi straight white black short tall have black hair there is just always gonna be somethin

I Don't Personally Know Anyone Who Is Openly Gay, and I Don't Personally Have Anything Against A Person Who Is Gay. What I and A Lot Of People Protest Is When Homosexuals Push It In The General Public's Face and then Try To Pass Being Gay Off As If It Were NORMAL. That's Where The Problem Arises. Keep What Goes On In Your Bedroom IN YOUR BEDROOM, and NOT in MY FACE.

2. Ellen Degeneres

Ellen Degeneres publically came out in 1997 on the cover of Time magazine. Being television’s first openly gay star wasn’t easy. When her television persona came out on her self-titled sitcom, 42 million people tuned in; however, ratings fell soon after and the show was cancelled the following year. “I tried to incorporate educational things about what people actually go through when they’re coming out, and it wasn’t funny,” she told the New York Times. “Because it’s not funny.” Ellen took a long hiatus after her show was cancelled but managed to revive her career several years later. Today, she’s known as one of the most successful talk show hosts and businesswomen on TV.
