Times haven't really changed.

I found it so very, very interested that a show from a little while back is so similar to shows depicting gay men today. Such as the show Happy Endings. Max, the gay male in the group of friends, is depicted as your average guy, lazy, doesn't like to do much cleaning, but when it comes to certain things he is depicted as completely feminine. The way the media shows gay men hasn't changed very much at all. If they aren't flamboyant and promiscuous, then they are masculine in most occasions.

My question is when are we going to have lesbians depicted in a show as a main character? When are we going to have a popular television show that is beloved by most of America that involves lesbians as main characters that aren't there just for some sexual context?
