Yay good boobs! Keep it up! Or something...
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Because books.
Pumpkin macarons? Ooh.
Yay for healthy boobs!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay for positive boob smooshing.
What Connie said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Teen wolf had a M/M sex scene or two last season
There were complaints mid-season that they were being short-shrifted, but I think mid-season is too soon to decide, and I think they got similar levels of intimacy to all of the other couples on the show.
The Modern Family gay couple gets lots of screen time, and story lines
That's not her question--do they get to demonstrate comparable affection and sexual attraction to each other? That's the neutering she's frustrated by, and why she goes to South America (virtually) for more orientation-balanced entertainment.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Zero heteronormative reinforcement, zero ditching gay cooties?
They are supposed to be in-laws. They're fighting because they don't like each other.
Happy Endings had a gay character that got laid on the reg, and a gay wedding for another character.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Quickest dental exam ever! I have awesome teeth.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am not sure if anyone on Modern Family is very sexual. The gay couple is certainly huggy and touchy.

As far as I can tell, it certainly seems so. But I'm not watching it under a microscope, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
RIP, Happy Endings.
Yay Lee!
Yay Tom!

Where is that on the poster? I'm not asking about the show, I'm asking about the marketing.
And, yeah, I do think it's creepy the parent/child pair is posed effectively indistinguishably from the couples unless you pay more attention than most people pay to signs along the road. But that's not the conversation my sister started.
