jain: Two Asian women kissing, eyes closed. Text: "jain" (girls kissing)

Am I the only person that doesn't get offended by this so-called 'queer-baiting'? Yes, they make jokes about John and Sherlock being together. But I know plenty of male/female leads where this is also done.

It's one of those things that I wouldn't mind on a case-by-case basis but that really bothers me in the aggregate. When shows make these types of jokes about male/female leads, it doesn't matter because there are thousands of counterexamples in which the male and female leads do become involved in a romantic relationship. But there's a severe paucity of male/male and female/female couples in mainstream media, and in the context of that environment, the jokes and hints that two male or two female leads are just like a real couple makes me feel that the scriptwriters are just reinforcing the notion that of course actual queer people can't be the heroes or engage in a romantic relationship that mainstream viewers could relate to; that's absurd!
