ACTUAL diversity. I agree that sometimes they portray us as TOO stereotypical. Not all gay men are feminine and not all lesbians are masculine. I wish they would get the memo.

And by "they," I mean TV, in general. There is nothing wrong with the more feminine men or masculine females at all, but I would really appreciate if they were a bit more diverse, the ones who decide how the characters are on TV, I mean.
