A couple of interesting shows with interesting gay characters |
|
SYFY has added a gay character to Warehouse 13 while MTV has a gay character in its remake of Teen Wolf. Both characters have been matter of factly integrated in the stories with no coming out drama. I would recommend both shows as interesting summer diversions.

1. I'm watching MadMen now that it is streaming on Netflix. |
|
One of the characters came out in the episode I watched last night. It was a fascinating reflection of the attitudes and grossly overt bigotry seen in the 60's. I am interested to see how it develops.
Thanks for the other recommendations.

3. It's fascinating and pretty intense. |
|
The gay character becomes more central in the second season. It also deals with issues around discrimination against women, african americans and basically anyone who is not a straight, white male. Painful at times, but pretty good reflection of the times.

4. We're watching Warehouse 13... |
|
I like Steve Jinks. They're giving his character some background now regarding his sister (won't say anything for those who haven't seen it).
He had a funny coming out with Claudia, too.

Pete's reaction to the news that Jinks is gay was utterly hilarious. I love the way they played that.

7. I didn't watch the first two seasons but this season is very imaginative |
|
the video game episode and the episode where they find out Jenks is gay were both quite well done.
