GLAAD has released their annual Network Responsibility Index, charting the gay and lesbian content of network TV. Not surprisingly, they found the highest concentration of gay characters are in programming aimed at young viewers. The CW had the highest ranking while Fox, the home of all those adorable Glee boys and girls, came in second. CBS, home of whatever the modern equivalent of Matlock is, came in last. Gawker put it best:
"Well, what we knew all along—that the kids love the gays and that as they grow up, the entertainment aimed at their generation will probably continue to have just as many gays as you would want to see in the mainstream media. As for CBS and the rest, they'll eventually retire, live off their pensions, and yell at same-sex couples from their front porches until they eventually die and gays come in to gussy up the house and make it livable. The gay takeover is inevitable, so will you let us enjoy The Good Wife in our complacency while it happens?"

I guess it really does get better!
(And that those family groups are doing a really good job at keeping the gay away from kids. They are all so smart and effective people!)
