I can relate to the lesbian thing. Lesbians on tv are either hot babydykes gettin' it on for the cameras or they're sexless moms. Notice how when they go from sex-sex-sex to just 2 ladies in a relationship, that's when they get killed off.
The new hotness seems to be bi ladies. That gives them an out. You can have a hawt lesbo scene or 2 for ratings and then BAM she goes back to men. Where she 'should' be.
And those poor bi chicks. At least lesbians turn into mommies of little Chinese girls they name Emma and get sidelined. But bi girls? Their sexuality is chalked up to trauma or just general skankiness. Not fair.
I suppose an exception could be The L Word, but I'm just on season 3, and I want to wait before giving my opinion.
