Gay stereotypes Xavier
Ok so maybe there are no minority gay characters on Tv... well except for him.
but can they at least actually BE gay on tv?
Apparently not, The hit show Modern Family took an entire season to show their two gay leads kissing. In Glee, it took two. In many shows like The New Normal, Grey’s anatomy, and The Office only imply that sex between two gay characters is happening.
In the End
What we should push for
We've come a long way since the club raids in the 70's.
We still have a long way to go, not every couple is an effeminate white man and his anxious white partner.
White Washing
Can you name one gay couple where either of them are minorities? Lets see if I can...
A couple that
- Has a minority member
- Doesn't fall into traditional gender roles
- Is as affectionate as the straight couples with each other
- Don't have a "I don't understand black people" episode
- Ave careers other than Entertainer/doctor
- Can be angry without having a crying breakdown
...nope

Separate but Equal

So lets get this straight they have to be white AND they cant actually do anything that makes them gay? Could they at least act like regular people?
No, you just get a gender defined couple with a different mask
