Romantic comedies make me glad I'm queer. Queer people, whether in same- or opposite-gender relationships, generally have better communication skills and don't do things like assume they are being cheated on because they see their prospective partner hanging out with someone attractive that they don't recognise, or assume that a relationship is monogamous before it is... I'm not saying relationships between queer folks are all perfect and non-dysfunctional, but we tend to use our words when we're not sure what's going on. Also very few people would lose their shit over someone else's "number" and those that did would not be getting the message that it was okay.

Comedies with a romantic theme could be really awesome, gay or straight or otherwise, if the writers could manage to tell stories that wouldn't totally fall apart if:

1) characters communicated with each other and asked each other questions in a polite, non-threatening manner when something looked unusual;

2) characters didn't assume monogamy, let alone ownership, of another person without discussing this beforehand;

3) stalking wasn't treated as evidence of passion and commitment by anyone who isn't an actual 100 year old vampire.
