That 70's show had an episode where Eric had a guy who was in love with him. Also Christopher Knight and Barry Williams played gay lovers on that show as well.

TWo and a half men had an episode where Charlie and Alan pretended they were gay.

Family Guy had an episode where Peter took a drug and became gay and of course who can forget Big Gay Al on South Park.

Even though the three male leads were heterosexual , there were many gay moments on Friends... there was of course the relationship between Susan and Ross's first wife Carol... Chandler's drag queen of a father played wonderfully by Kathleen Turner. And there was a never seen kiss between Rachel and Monica and a kiss between Phoebe .... well let's face it everyone kissed everyone on that show...btw Rachel DID kiss everyone. Phoebe pretended to be Susan to get tickets to Sting.

Wings had two episodes that both dealt with Roy and his gay son.

The Simpsons had an episode where Homer befriends a man, but freaks out when he finds out the man is gay. In another episode, he moves in with two gay men after he and Marge have a fight. They also had an episode about same-sex marriage where Homer becomes a minister.

The Golden Girls had a few LGBT episodes. One was about Dorothy's friend who is a lesibian and develops a crush for Rose. Two episodes were about Blanche's gay brother Clayton.

Gimme a Break!-"Chief's Gay Evening"...Carl Kaniski finds-out that his partner Jerry is gay. Jerry even informed Carl "When did you choose to be Polish"?

Another GAB ep is "Melissa" where Chief dates a transgender woman and doesn't know about it...but Officer Simpson knew before Chief did.
