Gay characters on TV

Just wanted to start a chat regarding how gay characters are portrayed on TV shows.

 

For example, Jack McFarland on Will & Grace. Shows like ***** as Folk.

 

Do you feel these shows stereotype gay people in the mainstream and is a hindrance to our cause in the fight for gay rights, and marriage equality?

I think a lot of the time there are shows that depict straight people stereotyping gays and a lot of the things they say are offensive but there isn't much we can do about it, especially if your only 16, like me. I like Jack too...he is funny, and that is the point it is a comedy sitcom and they try to make it funny and stay away from offending gays too, I think. Have you seen the episode when Jack threw a fit with abc because they didn't show the two guys kiss on the TV show? I think that episode was a little helpfull to our cause because it showed people how it isn't fair. Well that is what I think anyway.
