Gay Character
I'm glad they're starting to incorporate more gay characters in television shows! This definitely will continue help that trend. This looks so good!

Do we really need gay characters in every tv show? They're unnecessary and quite honestly an annoyance.
shareThe only reason they're annoying in shows is because a lot of them present gays as being overly flamboyant, which I find not funny anymore. This show looks like they're trying to break that stereotype. looks pretty good!

Yea I hope it works out but like you said every other show presents them as walking stereotypes.
shareThat's not true dude, check out Brooklyn Nine Nine, the police chief is a buff black guy with a deep voice and a husband, haha, it's sick! And there have been many portrayals of manly homos. Even as far back as Beevis and Butthead they always got all dreamy and hearts floated around when this one smooth dude happened by haha. I'm a director and a casting director was talking to my school last year. She said that the main problem is the casting directors, who are the bigoted ones who don't think manly men can be a gay character. Brokeback Mountain, Remember the Titans, Playmakers, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, there's a lot of material with manly homos. But it is way too rare, I'm with ya there. As a producer of entertainment, I will make sure bigoted ways are good and dead. I will be there for their final breath. haha not that a guy can't be who he is if he's more feminine, but when those guys are speaking for an army of macho studs, there is a serious crime of misrepresentation goin down.
shareDon't forget North By North West's (1959) Leonard, played by Martin Landau. And Leslie Banks, played by Frederick 'Robbie' Robbins, in The Tunnel (1935). That movie is priceless, just for getting past the Hays Code so deftly and foregrounding unrequited gay love for those 'in the know'.
