It's kind of touchy to have a gay/lesbian portray a gay character on primetime...
Ask Ellen...
btw..

B.D. Wong portrays a gay Psychiatrist on Law & Order {Dr. Huang}...
If I understand his pvt life correctly..
He's openly gay in real-life

David Hyde Pierce came out Recently, in support related to Prop 8.. He portrayed Niles Crane on Frasier, a neurotic Hetero psychiatrist constantly the butt of jokes regarding his true sexuality...

Neil Patrick Harris JR, portrays a Promiscuous heterosexual Womanizer on "How I met your Mother"

Wanda Sykes recently came out, for the same reason as David, she's one of the couples that married before Prop 8 passed...

The list can keep growing...
But, I dont think that's the point...

Tom Hanks portrayed an AIDS-afflicted Lawyer.. Was he belittling the character? Nope..On the contrary.. He created a much more mainstream Awareness...

So did Hillary Swank as Brandon Teena

And Sean Penn as Harvey Milk

Each one recieving a well deserved Acadamy Award...Each giving credit to their Character, and our Struggle for awareness/Equality
