How are GLBTs doing in the new tv season?
Edited on Sun Sep-26-10 10:48 PM by mitchtv
I have watched some , though hardly a lot of the new shows, and found very few gays, Last season's emmy winner on American Family was back, the overweight effeminate gay man who positively screams: I thought he was offensively stereotypical, but that's just me i suppose , someone likes him. Dr Liz Torres was back from last years Grey's Anatomy with a girlfriend as well. There is a openly bisexual female PI on Jimmy Smits' show "Outlaw". and a gay,male, Hispanic attorney in Rob Morrow's new show which is titled, I think, "The whole Truth", Anyone see any more?

1. A couple I've noticed
Edited on Mon Sep-27-10 02:01 AM by FreeState
Bionca (sp?) on All My Children is back (without her girlfriend and any meaningful story line)

There is a new guy on Glee that is rumoured to date Kurt (not shown yet, both the guy and the story)

There is a lesbian on Make Me A Supermodel (2nd place two weeks in a row)

Brothers and sisters has several very active gay story lines (Kevin and uncle Saul both now dating and next weeks episode has the whole family thinking Sally Fields is a lesbian)

Martha Stewarts lost her network and is on some odd channel I haven't bothered to set the DVR to yet (not gay I know!)

The Goodwife has a lesbian coming out story happening this fall (it started last may)

4. The other one is the new straight guy who plays football
The new coach is also probably a lesbian - if stereotypes hold true - which for Glee is usually true.

The new gay guy by Darren Everett:

7. I don't see anywhere that it says the new guy (the blond) is straight...
They still haven't announced for sure which one it will be. They're playing 'coy', they say.

9. Hmm well from what I read its not the blond because the new gay is at a different school
than Kurt - the blond (who has a great voice if you missed last week) is at Kurt's school so Im not sure - I think the storyline is flexible too (I read this summer there would not be a Britney theme either but that is this week so obviously much of what we read aint true LOL).
