They're really not "so over represented" though. How many seasons we had of Walking Dead before the first gay man... Soon as he kisses his boyfriend all you see is
The fact is... Its only a problem to people who don't wanna see it at all. If you really don't care it wouldn't matter how many are on the show since most does only have 1 or 2 gay characters in the whole series. It would just be another on screen relationship...
I don't care that he is gay, personally. I care that he is doing gay shyt. For example, I have friends that are Christian, and I'm not. And I don't care that they are Christian. But if out of nowhere they start talking about "Our lord and savior Jesus Christ" its like... okay, breh... we get it. Relax. In fact, now that I think about it, my gay friend is also friends with our christian friends... and if they start doing Christian stuff both of us are like
but if the gay friend starts doing gay shyt then me and the christians are like
and if I'm listening to Dead Prez or Talib Kweli drop knowledge when they wanna turn to 'All Gold Everything' or whatever nonsense they listen to... then they all be looking at me like
So its not even a homophobic thing. Its just people like what they like and are easily irritated.
