The one about the queer characters on Autostraddle is quite an impressive rundown! And I could be wrong, but I thought that the whole storyline involving the “lesbian” having sex with the guy at the end of the “Faking It” season one was only because she had been drinking and didn’t really know what she was doing, and she was still confused about her sexuality and technically still “in the closet” to herself. Even though she was “out” to everyone else. So she still hasn’t quite labeled herself in any way yet. And I remember the producer for the show said the same thing, that she was still trying to figure herself out. And that the guy she slept with and all of the other characters would find out about the real “faking it” deal as the show progresses. Or something like that. And personally I would love to see more shows with men who are “label-free” type of people too.
