GAYS ON PRIME TIME -- "Programs about gay life don't outnumber those about policemen and lawyers just yet.

(CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article examines the development and proliferation of gay characters and gay-themed television shows. CONSTANT CLOSET -- "Demonstrable homosexuality, and, in turn, coming out, continues to be a dicey, dramatic device in movies and on TV."
