Every Sunday, I tune in to Brothers & Sisters, and, like millions of other Americans, enjoy the unfolding dramas of the Walker family as they play out from week to week. As a gay man, I am especially happy to find out what is happening with Kevin Walker, a multifaceted gay man in ABC's Emmy®-award winning drama. When I see these types of gay characters on television, I know that the next generations of gay Americans are coming of age in a world where media visibility makes their coming out process far simpler than mine.

I have to agree, having gays and trangender persons in shows and also, not just as a cameo role, but one of the main characters is a definite step forward.  The more the general public are accustomed to seeing gays and ts as just ordinary regular people, the less ignorance will exist in society as a whole.
