to be fair, i wouldn't like to live in a country where i was the racial minority. I'm glad i don't have to.

I'm gay, but i don't expect to see an equal amount of gay relationships on TV, i know that i'm the minority, and it would be weird if the TV portrayed a world where gay relationships were just as common as straight relationships. It would be nice if they portrayed more realistic gay relationships in stead of the clownish stereotypical gay men that Tv shows usually use to represent gay men, but still, i don't for one second ever expect to see just as many gay men on Tv as straight men,

that being said, i'm a white male, so at;least i get to see a lot of white males on TV all the time, so it's not exactly the same.

With a gay population of around 5% in the UK the soaps for example have been way way over representative in the last 20 years.

UK soaps are for hetero women though, not for gay men. so you can't blame us for that.

lesbians in straight porno for straight guys, and gay men in straight soaps for hetero women, neither are really about gay people at all...

that's just fetishizing gay people.
