She said, "There was boys kissin' girls and girls kissin' boys all over the place!" I said, "Yeah, there should have been some boys kissin' boys for balance." We both laughed, but, for me, it highlighted how a same-sex kiss between two women is somewhat accepted in prime-time television but between two men it still seems taboo. Even in shows with gay male characters it seems they either have to be single or keep any signs of affection off-screen. It seems like television shows could do a much better job of helping address heterosexism.

Though it had more to do with privilege (what heterosexism implies and allows for). http://depths.dacheron.com/2009/08/a-question-of-privilege/ Wonderful site here, though.
