I'm not the above anon, but I'd guess that they meant the argument that it's harmful the way TV and movies sometimes show gay people as safe or okay only when they conform to heteronormative ideals -- say, the gay couple on Modern Family, who are basically a 50s TV family where one partner works, one stays at home with the baby, and they live in a big, nice house in the suburbs. I mean, I love Mitchell and Cam. But there is an argument to be made that it's problematic to show that as the only way for queer folks to be accepted. It would be cool to see more gay characters on mainstream TV who challenge those norms without being portrayed as villains or comic relief figures.

You took the words out of my mouth there.

Right now, we've got three options: comic relief, villainy, and ho-hum life in the suburbs. Of the three, I'd take being a villain- I'd rather be evil than impotent.
