If you¡¯ve been paying any attention to the news in the last several weeks, you¡¯ll know that gays are the talk of the town these days. Conservative and liberal news pundits alike seem to have a bizarre conveyer belt of never-ending guests that all seem to be experts on the gays. However, the majority of Americans aren¡¯t watching Fox and CNN on Thursday nights¡ªthey simply don¡¯t have time. They¡¯re much too busy catching up with Meredith on ¡°Grey¡¯s Anatomy¡± or laughing at the antics of Dwight on ¡°The Office.¡±
I¡¯m a little bit torn, however. I love the fact I don¡¯t have to watch ¡°The L word¡± or ¡°Will and Grace¡± to see a man(woman) kiss another man(woman) on TV. Part of me gets frustrated with shows that only give gay characters gay storylines. I¡¯m sorry, but I came out almost five years ago, and while watching someone go through the same thing may bring back some lovely memories of paralyzing fear, I¡¯m not sure I can watch another ¡°should I, or shouldn¡¯t I?¡± story arc concerning someone¡¯s sexuality. But that could just be me. I¡¯m just one gay in a sea of gays that eat stories like that up. I suppose there is probably some closeted kid out there who is just filled with the courage to come out to his friends and family after watching the same thing happen on ¡°Brothers and Sister.¡±
My favorite shows:
24 Hours Seasons 1-7 DVD Boxset
Two and a Half Men Seasons 1-6 DVD Boxset
One Tree Hill Complete Seasons 1-6 DVD Boxset
House M.D Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset
