You may have noticed a recent influx of gay and lesbian themed shows on the major networks lately. That's because gay and lesbian shows are attracting viewers and scoring big ratings. Gay TV has gone primetime in a big way from "Will & Grace" to Ellen's talk show to the queen of reality shows, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Will & Grace" had huge ratings. But even in its sixth season, the lead gay character, Will, has yet to have one meaningful relationship while his straight female counterpart, Grace, has had several and even got married. My question is, are these shows helping society understand and accept homosexuality or are they merely perpetuating negative stereotypes.
