I think these types of shows have every right to be on television and its good to see shows like Neighbours and The OC introducing gay or bisexual characters into their shows.
Of course some would say that its just to up their ratings but its out there and it should be shown so narrow minded people have a greater understanding.
I havnt really watched The L Word or Queer as but I watch Will & Grace, Neighbours and The OC and love what they have done with their storylines.
I think the most 'real' one would have to be Neighbours because it showed the relationship between two best friends and the feelings they had towards eachother.
Plus the actress who played the lesbian did a really good job.
I also love how the OC started off but then they ruined it but at least Marissa and Alex had an actual relationship and not just some kiss and a pillow fight.
I suppose if its done tastefully then its a yay for me
