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
