"homosexuality" is popular on T.V.

When Ellen came out of the closet, she was nervous and painful but did not want to keep the secret anymore. In the class discussion, students talked about the way Ellen coming out, and if Ellen did not do like that, she would not successful now. They are right. However, as time goes by, today's situation is different from Ellen's, and "homosexuality" is popular on T.V.now.
The "homosexuality" doesn't mean that gay singers,actors can come out of the closet without hesitation, but this fake "homosexuality" --two guys seems have some romantic relationship, can attract more audience.
The English diver, Tom Daley, was straight and had several girlfriend, are now dating with a man now. After this announcement of Tom, he became more popular and many talk show asked him to tell his feeling about this change. It seems like in one night, Tom became the positive image of tell the truth bravely. On the contrary, the figure skater, Johnny Weir was treated unfairly on the Olympic games because of his girly costume style and sexual orientation. The differences between those two guys are obvious. Tom is not a gay because he likes woman, but Johnny is totally a gay since he was young. Tom is still a man because he wears and talks just like a normal man, but Johnny wears make-up,wears heels and that is not a man's style. Both of them did not keep their sexual orientation as a secret but ended up differently. So what is the problem? Have people made progress that they can treat gay normally? I think the answer is still NO.Tom is popular on T.V.because audience can treat Tom the same kind of people as them,but not Johnny.
And not just them, the producers of soap operas also have noticed that. The Sherlock Holmes from BBC is a typical example. The relationship between Sherlock and Watson is extremely different from before. They are like friends, but not just friends; they are not lovers, but they always act like lovers. This difference is new and attracting. As we all know, this opera was a huge success, not just in Britain, but all over the world.
