but I've been really impressed with CBS's programming lately.
"Joan of Arcadia" had a plot line 2--3 weeks about the morality of outing a fellow student Joan had found out was gay. (She didn't.)
"Cold Case Files" last Sunday was about what seemed to be an early hate crime, the early days of the "gay flu" that eventually became known as AIDS. It ended with a present-day gay wedding that was beautifully portrayed. (I cried.)
Thursday night CSI was about the death of a transgendered person during reassignment surgery. Since this is a bewildering subject for many people, I thought they did shed light on some misconceptions.
More than anything, all the shows stressed that people with different lifestyles are deserving of the respect all people deserve.
