[Reverend-Jack]

I'm a gay twenty-something who has watched mass media go from nearly silent to actively accepting of homosexuals in the ten years I've been out. I think this is great, but I still see little non-cable television that's actually interesting to me as a gay man. 'Will & Grace' is the Gay Cosby show--they've taken typical whitebread sitcom archetypes and made them gay, usually sidestepping any of the issues common to homosexuals, in the same way that The Cosby Show gave us a whitebread upper class black family. I don't find it offensive, I just find it mostly irrelevant--it's a show for straight people to get them used to gay characters on television, not gay television proper.
