But that is surprising; my impression of FamilyCleaveland Dad has been almost entirely negative.Heh, I always noticed that American Dad is one of the few shows that aren't horrible about forcing their gay characters into female/male roles. It's really odd.Yeah, I kinda got thatThat's odd. There's a comedy program I watch sometimes, and despite the frequent crude jokes (commentary is provided by a mix of comedians, has-been celebrities, and TV personalities) they're usually very good at referring to transexuals by their preferred genders. You'd think a "serious" show would be better than that :/If you think law & order is a serious show, even of the scare quote variety, I don't quite know what to tell you Siri. It has more in common with penny actor pornography than anything of merit.

I've seen... entirely too much of L&O in passing. Watching any of it has categorically worsened my life. It makes me want to strangle its director(s), most of the time. The rest of the time, it just makes me leave the room. In case you can't tell, I rather dislike the show.
My point still stands though. If a show that frequently features drunken frat boys doing life-threatening crap can be more sensitive towards LGBT topics than a long-running crime drama-type thing, it doesn't say much good about TV in general
