Is it me or is everyone obsessed with sexual orientation on TV? I have a couple of gay friends but they don’t wear their sexuality as a badge, it isn’t the issue that defines them but rather the people they are. Now I may be accused of being homophobic and quite frankly I’m sick of the PC brigade, I don’t care any more what people choose to think and the key word in that phrase is choose because it is all contextual. I have no desire to switch on my TV and see people of any peruasion writhing around in the throes of passion, I switch on to see good writing, excellent casting a top class storylines. If I want the other I’ll stick to the daytime soaps.
Minor rant from atop a very small soapbox

oh oh soap box time for me!!!
Why do people when they hear sexual orientation on TV automatically assume that there will be sex? Many hetro characters do not have sex, so why do the homo characters automatically have too?
There can be good writing and top class storylines with same sex partners.
I humbly step down from your soap box now.
