GLAAD for acceptance

The realistic depiction of gay lawyer Kevin (Matthew Rhys) on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" has been greeted with a yawn.

The show-tune loving, sports-averse nephew on the network's "Ugly Betty," along with the flamboyantly gay assistant played by Michael Urie, and the transsexual editor played by Rebecca Romijn, have been met with a similar collective shrug.

If not open-hearted acceptance, viewers at least have moved to nonchalance when it comes to gay characters.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)is all about rewarding nonjudgmental nonchalance. GLAAD's awards gala will air tonight, starting locally at 5:30 on Bravo.
