[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forced diversity in recent shows/movies. They always have to have that one character that is gay or trans and it’s too obvious and on the nose. (Example: Bros)

[b]I miss 20 years ago when a gay character just existed and wasn’t heavily stereotyped and over the top[/b].[/quote]

Genuinely curious what show/movie you are thinking of when you say this.  I can't think of any examples.[/quote]

Monroe on Too Close for Comfort way back in the 80s.

Nobody even addressed his sexuality directly. And he was the real star of the show. [/quote]

I think that was more because it wasn't proper to have an out gay character. Homosexuality was depicted as something you didn't talk about. The characters could behave like stereotypical "gay" people, but baby boomer moms could believe they were just charming bachelors. Charles Nelson Riley, Paul Lynde, etc.

Disagree.

[b]Three’s Company joked about it[/b].

Wilson Cruz and Scott Thompson played countless gay characters seamlessly.

The joke for the viewer was that Jack was pretending to be gay, but clearly wasn't.

Not exactly an openly gay character.
