@stephen guy, it never ceases to amaze me that so many people still succumb to what they imagine gay must look or sound like. I look forward to the day when TV drama/comedy et al regularly has characters who are this, that and the other and just happen to be gay, just like having other characters who reflect the diversity of nationalities and cultures that Australia contains.
Kenneth Copeland missed out then?
Didn’t GLAAD whinge about the Rocky Horror episode of Glee?
It’s great how two of the biggest hit shows in the US have fantastic gay characters with wonderful storylines about their lives.
Gay & Lesbian visibilty !
I guess they mean suitably stereotyped visibilty for general viewing so mainstream audiences wont be frightened off by how normal and unglittery or unlispy most of us actually are in the G&L community.
Wow! I thought GLADD might want to chastise “Modern Family” for rolling out tired stereotypes? I guess visibility is their main criteria.
As they say – it’s all good!
Wow 😀
Glee and Modern Family is awesome <3
Puzzled.
Modern Family is a comedy, but Glee is light entertainment (in my opinion of course).
There are many laugh-out-loud moments in Modern Family, but not in Glee.
I like them both, but I’d give the award for that category to MF.
I like both equally as much too..good choice
They should just have one event!
