Stereotypes

I don't understand why mainstream television still insists on portraying stereotypes like how straight guys are jocks and gay guys are girlish effeminate types, don't they know better by now that loads of gay guys are just like your average joe or even more masculine than a lot of straight guys out there? It's a travesty really how ignorant these scriptwriters are (I'm assuming they're not gay, or even worse they are but have decided to pander to corporate and mainstream sentiments) Whatever the case I think they should really get with the program, it's 2010 already for goodness sakes!
