5% of population = 1 in 20.  Were there at least 20 characters on Walking Dead?  Yes.  You get a gay one.

It's almost as if gay people have personalities

so what was your gay moment like?
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Then let me suggest a show for you guys that your love on Netflix. Sense 8. The cast....8. Only two are straight. There's a sex scene every episode...everyone gets one except the straight couple--they get nothing the whole season. What does all the gay sex scenes have to do with the general theme of the show? Absolutely nothing. It's right up your alley.

if you're clearly so concerned with the fact that gay folks get a chance to have their stories told, why are you bothering to watch?

I don't dislike gay people...it's their agenda that I dislike. they got to be represented now in all forms of entertainment....even a zombie a apocalypse can't skirt the agenda. Yet...in reality they represent less than 5% of the population they have to be represented 100 percent on our TV screen? Pleeeeese!
Are you actually joking...100% on your TV screen?

The guy was literally seen being teary eyed over seeing the guy he loved being shot....what exactly was the big deal?

And gay people's agenda being what? To get people to look at them as they would a straight person and not like they've got two heads?

People view gay relationships as odd/unacceptable/disgusting/against the lord/filthy for various reasons.

I had a discussion with an old army buddy and I was rather shocked at his lack of movement and progression over acceptance of people. He said - and not a direct quote because you know...memory...but along the lines of - "They're everywhere now"...like they weren't everywhere before. They were just in the shadows because that's where they had to be otherwise they were disowned by family, disowned by friends, disowned by the community and unemployable. Being gay wasn't an acceptable thing to be.

Now people might have that view for other reasons still...and that's their prerogative to have those views. But the "agenda" is to make being gay not "a bad thing" not "a mental illness" and not "a disease"

We saw Rick and Michonne getting it on last season I think. To some that would still be viewed as abhorrent. To others, it wasn't and likely that's because over the years it's been mainstreamed more and so become acceptable - to some.

Others just won't get passed their bigotry - but you can't change everyone.

Point is the "agenda" that you do not appreciate is to try and help them appear normal to people whom otherwise will view them as abnormal.

First off your premise and math is sorely off. That 5 percent was a generous number the gay community site often. the actual number is closer to 3 percent.--- why is that relevant and why is the agenda to have them included-whether it fits in with the premise of the show or not--is exactly to give the impression they are the norm. But 3 percent or even 5 percent isn't the norm is it? Thus this why the agenda is so apparant when one watches these shows. And pointing that agenda out DOES NOT make me homophobic-- it only brings focus to the PC tactic of name calling to silence the opposition---a regular occurance nowadays where you either shut up and don't speak your views or your some kind of phobic...I call BS.

Secondly if your going to say "there's 20 people on the show thus the gay stuff is okay" is totally intellectually dishonest. To get that 20 people you have to include the extras as there certainly isn't 20 main characters. But the show doesn't attempt to display the sexual orientation of the extras does it?...for all we know they all might be gay then? Of the main characters...and the second and third tier characters that have something written---the gay total...as usual...is hugely contrary to actual RL numbers--that's what makes the agenda stand out.

Thirdly..none of the above is even relevant to the premise of the show---a zombie show..but whatever...keep your political correctness rolling and don't forget the Aveeno :hug:

No, it's the rest of your rant against gay people on TV that does.

Exactly, it's a show about the zombie apocalypse. You're bitching because gay characters are ruining the "realism" of your zombie apocalypse show.

And what about a zombie apocalypse precludes gays being present? 3% or 5% some will end up as zombies and some will be normal.
