What, the same ones that showed Buffy ( featuring a prominent lesbian
character and often showed them kissing ) , The L Word ( a soap opera about
a group of lesbians which at times is virtually soft porn ), Queer as Folk
( an entire series set in and amongst the gay community ) Xena ( with it`s
obvious lesbian overtones ) Six Feet Under ( has a male gay character ),
Ally Mcbeal ( a lesbian kiss and love interest ), Friends ( ditto ), Babylon
5 ( lesbian relationship between Ivonova and Talia ) Dawsons Creek (
featured a male gay relationship )? Some of these I got from a quick google
search, some of them are shows I`ve seen. Either way it`s quite clear that
the US networks are not as homophobic as you seem to think they are Dave.
