Evidently the original premise was Dan Goodman's character and his boyfriend raising two children in Ohio. The boyfriend was dropped, the children were halved and the age doubled, and now Goodman was the father who was absent for most of his son's childhood because his gayness made him run away. So it then became all about Goodman provoking spit takes among his ex-wife's family.
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Can't the regular Joes ever get TV representation?
Homicide: Life on the Streets came kinda-sorta close with the character of Tim Bayliss, IIRC.
Benton Fraser?
Hee.
Hmmm. Not that I didn't love Kyle Secor's character and think his storyline was groundbreaking, but he played a bisexual man who principally dated women. Taking him as the standard bearer for my particular minority would be like Carmen Electra representing the Cherokee Nation—there is a link present, but she's not exactly typical.
Alias Ricky Gervais! Ha! ...
It's a bad sign when regulars on a show start signing up for other gigs, isn't it?
From zap2it:
Hershey will co-star in The WB's drama "The Mountain." She'll play the mother of Oliver Hudson's character, a 25-year-old who inherits his family's mountain resort after the death of his grandfather. Anson Mount (ABC's "Line of Fire") will play Hudson's brother.

Good point. Now that I think of it, wasn't the computer analyst on Profiler gay, but without a huge deal being made about it? There was a storyline where the serial killer du jour was possibly after the whole team, and therefore the team's nearest-and-dearest had to bunk down in the HQ. Computer analyst's partner was amont the crew.
I also know there was a dropped sub-plot on CSI about the ballistics tech and his boyfriend adopting an infant.

It was his "roommate", they never said that it was his boyfriend. Of course, by the same token, you could have said the same about Sam and Angel. I don't think that they ever came out and said he was gay.
Yeah, George on Profiler was gay.
