I really wish the general Japanese public knew about George Takei. An activist and pioneer like him would be such a great role model to so many people over here: an Asian actor who got on TV and became well-known for a non-stereotypical role during a time when that was practically unheard of, and an openly gay celebrity whose shtick isn't "I will gently caress any and every man I see because I am gay, you see! You'd better watch out, men!". It might help to enlighten a few people over here, too.

There was (still running, maybe?) a drama on basic cable over here with a lesbian relationship between the two main characters which made lots of headlines. As mentioned above, lesbian stuff is marketed to grown men, so it's not surprising that it got green-lit, but I really can't see a high-profile TV show with a realistic relationship between two men happening any time soon.
