PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

34. "RE: Dear Tom and Terry" |
I've read enough history of media studies that I get sensitive about the argument that "at least gay people are being included now." For years, actors of non-white racial/ethnic backgrounds got pigeonholed into negative portrayals. It makes me wonder if I should really be happy about gay people getting their chance to see "themselves" on television if what they see is merely an exaggeration that serves to reinforce stereotypes.Well, I guess it's a no win situation then. At least we have the chance to respond to the negative portrayals when they occur, just as the the actors you mentioned above did. And, I think you would agree those portrayals have changed tremendously for the better. As for Tom and Terry improving their personal appearance, I have no problem with bashing that. Personally, I think they look fine, and I've seen much worse. They obviously don't have a problem with each other's appearance and they seem like a very happy couple, which is a more important representation to me than anything else. Tribe rocked my sig!
