Homosexuality in Television

The homosexuality in television discussion in class made me think. I feel like when homosexuals are portrayed, we only relly see it in a humorous light. I think the reason for that is because even though it is a little accepted, it makes everyone feel more comfortable to "laugh at the gay people". Personally, I wouldnt want to watch a drama about a homosexual couple with intimate scenes and kissing, but I definitely enjoyed watching the clips from Modern Family. Maybe in the future America's main view on homosexuality will change but for now I feel like their accurate portrayal is only half way through the door.
