We've made great strides and I do think 'Ellen' and 'Will and Grace' are
steps forward. But mainstream America still ain't ready for the real thing.
And speaking of 'Six Feet Under', I think David and Keith are maybe the best
portrayals of gay characters I have yet seen on television. Both of these
men are very believable as men who work in non-stereotypical jobs (for gays)
and just happen to be sexually attracted to other men. I think David's
struggle with his sexuality in the first episodes was very honest and
accurate.
i agreee with you totally. they are quite ordinary. kieth especially
must give people food for thought.
'Queer As Folk' is fun to watch and it is a fairly accurate
depiction of one aspect of gay society - the young men, living in the 'gay
ghetto' who, like a lot of straight guys, love to party, dance and get laid.
It is *not* however, a representation of gay people in general.
eaxactly!
