The "token" homosexuals (male and female) on The Real World are very prominently featured. One season the gay male had AIDS and was pitted against a Cuban Republican female. Another time it was a gay male pitted against a devout mormon female.
And lemme guess, the homos always came out smelling like very opressed roses.
But don't you think there is a difference between a homosexual character or two and stocking a whole show with them? Expecially something like that show...locking a whole bunch of gays and perhaps some people on the edge with gay tendencies in a house together for a few months? That's going from mainstreaming straight (no pun intended) into recruiting.
