Hey, I haven’t actually seen yet it but everyone says this Modern Family show on ABC is pretty good! Chief among its charms are a gay couple named Cam and Mitchell– who are dumpy, middle aged and poorly-dressed in a way that makes them more realistic than probably any other gay people on television. (That includes reality TV gays, most of whom might as well have painted-on hair and a smooth little bump where their junk should be.) Yay!
There’s only one little problem with the gays on Modern Family: because network TV executives are still apparently being driven to work in Conestoga limousines, Cam and Mitchell haven’t been allowed an onscreen kiss. I guess a little gay peck is worse than than ten thousand Janet Jackson’s boobs and outrageous Survivor cameltoes all put together?
But because this is 2010, there’s now a crackerjack Facebook group petitioning for Cam and Mitchell’s onscreen smooch. Normally I don’t think these facebook groups are worth shit, but then again who just hosted SNL this weekend? Oh, right!

I’m really dissapointed with the portrait of Cam and Mitchell. They appear as a gay couple, but behave as two friends who happen to be gay, share the same bed and…. adopt a child? Plus, Cam was created to portrait the stereotypical looks of a super-queered gay guy, which steals his personality and annoys me to hell…
If they don’t show Cam and Mitchell as a REAL couple, I am seriously considering to stop watching this series.
