It doesn't remotely look homophobic to me.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Modern Family has a gay couple.
Yes, but do they have an equivalent gay couple? Does the couple get as much coupleness as the straight ones? I think by 2005 shows should know they can have gay couples without taking a hit--even get a bump from it. But neutered gay couples are hardly surprising.

Zero heteronormative reinforcement, zero ditching gay cooties? I can't convince my sister of any sort of parity in its face, though.

Because books.

The Modern Family gay couple gets lots of screen time, and story lines. They've adopted a kid (and another? I only watch sometimes), etc.

Not network, but primetime - The Fosters on ABC Family has a lesbian couple as leads. (Or are you looking for M/M specifically? In which case, nothin' to see here, move along).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah, the Modern Family couple is on par in all aspects with the other couples.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Teen wolf had a M/M sex scene or two last season.
Two good things about today:
Thing the first: TJs has brought back the pumpkin macarons for the season.
Thing the second: I went and had my boobs smooshed on the way to work, and I got the all clear for the third year in a row.
