Though, thinking about that, I worry that by nominating things which are so problematic, it just encourages further problematic media. Or maybe not encourages - validates? I'll have to think about this more. I mean, yes, I'm very aware of the lack of options, but I'm not sure that means I want to reward shows just because they include a gay character at all, no matter how problematic.
(Plus, I cringe at the thought of what some of the fandom might use this to justify when the next race/gender/sexuality discussion comes up.)
