I wouldn't get too upset. America has been laughing at homos since the dawn of TV: Milton Berl and Flip Wilson dressing in drag; Klinger on M*A*S*H; Jack Tripper on Three's Company; Ellen....
The difference is, as you said, we laughed
at Klinger. Now we're supposed to laugh
with them, or be branded tolerant homophobes.
This agenda comes all the way from the top. Even ratings take a back seat to the lavender goal.
