I have no problem with people being gay. What i have a problem with is how they are always treated in movies and shows. Like they aren't all flamboyant. In six feet under they had a gay couple (you find out in the first episode) and both men look and act straight. I knew someone who is gay and he was always flamboyant. Always the stereotype. Almost like they sign a contract before they are in. Can't girls go to high school with a BFF that doesn't look clearly gay I find it insulting that they are rarely portrayed that way

i've noticed that too and how so many movies and series are romanticizing it. i hope things are changing. slowly, but changing.

I didn't think that in six feet under that they did actually straight lol But maybe that's because ai knew they were gay I do not like the gay men who are effeminate drama queens, hands on hips squeaking in a high pitched wail, Why is it girls in shows are always portrayed as having a gay make friend My wife said there weren't any gay boys at school with her at all I don't have a problem with gays either , until they invent problems they think people have with them

Someone wrote that about the portrayals of gay people on TV about five years ago on a column I read. They said on TV they often go for the stereotype to give more possibilities to the role. The writer said that’s why they portray Christians on TV as judgmental and holier than thought, as it fits the stereotype. The black friend is always “sassy”, and so on. I actually thought the same thing as you did. I wondered that about gay people, black people, and Christians. They are mostly portrayed as stereotypes. I hope someday TV changes that.

Nope. It just means you have your own opinions and can feel about things any way you want.
