Yay for positive boob smooshing.

Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Because books.
That's not her question--do they get to demonstrate comparable affection and sexual attraction to each other?
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.

Lee! GREAT BOOBS.
I am officially in "fuck I have to pick a new dentist" land and "fuck, it's been so LONG" land. Props to you for being a grownup, Tom, and for having good results to boot.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.
Right on!!!!
TJs has brought back the pumpkin macarons for the season.
Oh man, I love these so much. I was just there on Tuesday, and they had some pumpkin stuff (I snagged some pumpkin Greek yogurt), but I didn't see the macarons. Must get.
