I agree, NotReady4Purple. Casual sexual references on "teen" or "kids" shows, dangerous sex, violence, etc. on non-pay channels on TV all bug me. But I don't watch them, so issue solved. I hate that movies with very crude sexual references get a PG13, but you show a bit of the human body in a loving situation and you get an R rating.

But my gripes go across the board - gay or straight.

I do think TV and movies do a great service when they depict couples and families of all types - gay, lesbian, mixed race, whatever - without making it "the story line." I often said that the most gay friendly network is HGTV. They feature lots of homes of gay couples without any commentary whatsoever. Here are two guys. They own this house. They fix it up. That is what is good to see....normal folks depicted as normal folks.
