I was aware this was happening, but not how far it had gone. When I found out it made me long for the days when slash and fanfic were kept secret.
1 - This is not HBO, it's the CW. They are not the Network that is going to break new ground by airing a show with a gay couple as action heroes.
2 - Even considering that the CW is the same Network that airs such crap-fests as Next Top Model, Supernatural has been amazingly successful in introducing gay characters that are positive representations. Charlie is awesome, reoccurring and not dead yet. Which around here is pretty damn impressive.
3 - Gay characters that are positive representations - Dean Winchester ain't it. I adore him, but Seriously??? Does anyone thing it's going to help the LGBT community to have a previously straight, heavily-armed, chronically depressed, alcoholic representing them?
