Re: Equality

I don't know about you, but I'm not constantly surrounded by throngs of gay people. I mean, are you seriously sugguesting that 50% of all characters should be gay so that things are equal? Nevermind that 50% of all people aren't gay?

There should be more gay representation in the media, but there should also be ACCURATE gay representation in the media. So, yeah. I'm fine with a situation where some shows focus on a group of friends where nobody is gay -- because groups of friends where nobody is gay exist. Ditto for or or two gay friends in a group and a giant group of gay people.

I don't think I suggested that... But from the way OP was speaking, it seemed like they felt the odds were made uneven when one of two(of a total six) gay characters died, but it was "equal" before that. I just asked why they felt like having two gay characters, now one, felt like it was enough.

I'm fine with a situation where some shows focus on a group of friends where nobody is gay -- because groups of friends where nobody is gay exist. Ditto for or or two gay friends in a group and a giant group of gay people.

I can understand that, but if that's the case, then why should gay characters be the minority? Like you say, when it comes to individual groups of people the total percentage of gay people in the world hardly matters.

I mean, fiction writing is pretty much all about bending what's considered "true" in the real world, so why is it that the rule that never gets broken is the one that makes more gay people being around?
