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.

It doesn't remotely look homophobic to me.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

What about Curt and Blaine on Glee? Santana?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

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

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.
