CBS will introduce more gay characters on its scripted programs in response to recently receiving a failing grade from GLAAD, CBS President Nina Tassler said Wednesday.Is this supposed to be a recipe for success?
“I’m very disappointed in our track record so far,” Tassler said at the Telvision Critics Association fall previews. “We know and we will do better.”

Tassler said The Good Wife will introduce the gay brother of Julianna Margulies’ Alicia in the new season. She also added that there would be a recurring gay character on S#*! My Dad Says and that Jeff and Audrey (Patrick Warburton and Megyn Price) will choose a lesbian surrogate on Rules of Engagement.
“Once you come out of your pilot development season disappointed with yourself, you go into the current series season and look for every opportunity we can to improve the numbers we have represented in the cast,” Tassler said. “We’re going to do that, and we’ll continue to focus on that as we go into development season. We’re not happy with ourselves.”

I guess we all need to quit watching any shows that have gay characters. I hate that! Why do they think the gays need to control the world?
It just makes me sick.
My TV has been acting up; maybe I won't spend/waste the money to fix it.
I agree with Linda. It seems like every show on TV has the "token" gay person. It appears that every third person in the country is gay, according to TV programs. I guess the conservative Christians need to turn off the TVs. If enough of us did that maybe the producers would take notice and quit bombarding us with the gay community.
