Christian Borle in SMASH; is Fox a Network? Many of the characters big and small in GLEE were openly gay; Evan Rachel Wood on ONCE AND AGAIN turns out to be gay; and what about WILL in WILL AND GRACE?

I think the article is distinguishing lead from supporting character more than you (and some posters below) are. And certainly, Will and Grace is considered a comedy rather than a drama.

I realize this isn't a drama, but...

Did everyone completely forget that "The New Normal" was on the air?

I loved that show, I was so annoyed when it was canned. It was hilarious.

Blake was the lead.
The two women having pillow fights were leads.

And I can't be certain, but I don't remember him being out so much as struggling with his sexuality.

Young Carrington was out. Certainly as much as the men in "Call Me...", which takes place in "Dynasty's" heyday. But we're splitting hairs.

by Broadway alum Billy Crystal. Not the "lead" initially but well... he came before young Carrington. Soap helped, I guess.

And then of course there was Love, Sidney where the leading character was gay but it was never mentioned in the series (sort of like in my home when my mother was still living) The television movie upon which the series was based was a bit more frank. Tony Randall played Sidney.

lol, true, And Ann et al are being quite tolerant. I suppose I, we, are just attempting to be oh so clever. Good for Cumming. I hope it is a fun show.
