They once offered a gay character who all us strived to be, a king! However this network stripped us of that. It offended every one except the blue coast. This character once hid in the shadows and then accepted who he was.... Yes, murder and whatnot were before that. When did we ever have a character of power in mainstream media? We are always portrayed as victims or perpetrators. I'm talking about the show, Kings! In the show first season we were called faggots and made to be unloving, party animals.... It's time we had a fair portrayal of who we are... Yes, we have our faults, but we are powerful and I'd like to see more of that on television. Join me in an email campaign to get the show back. We don't have many shows on mainstream that do give us and evil/positive light. We either commit murder or are victims of it!

1. Kings didn't get canceled because Jack was gay

Kings got canceled because of low ratings. I wish you luck with the email campaign (I liked the show as well) but you shouldn't mischaracterize the issue.

2. Are we forgetting about a show called "Will & Grace", also broadcast on NBC?

Sounds like someone has short term memory loss.

3. Of course-- we remember Will "sexless=safe" Truman and his friends

a latter day Aunt Jemima for gays...

7. He had that cop boyfriend for a season or two.

The one who liked to try on gloves instead of catch thieves, so he got fired.:rofl:

8. And Jack, so outrageous and over the top he can't be a real person...

so he's safe too...Will & Grace was a really medicore show.
