There's no problem wrong with having gay actors or gay characters (nor 
black / asian / female / disabled / etc.) ... the issue is when they 
purposely try force the fact ("the first gay actor in a XYZ show") and 
/ or swap an existing character, often in both cases it is simply to 
tick the box on the Politically Correct quotas.

If they want gay / black / asian / feamle / disabled actors and 
characters, they should create new characters, but Hollyweird simply 
has almost no creative talent any more.  :-(
