And these days, yes, I often feel that people are represented, but made sexless saints of. For every complicated, sexy, odd character of color and non-default sexuality like Kalinda on The Good Wife, there's a thousand happy-dappy Wills and Jacks, or people who one assumes have HAD sex or might be HAVING sex, but thank God, you don't actually have to hear about it/watch it. One thing I like about SVU, shit as it's become, is that they don't dare make Ice-T sexless. He has a complicated background, an ex-wife with serious issues, a gay son, and seems to be living in some sort of hetero life-mate relationship with Richard Belzer. He's allowed to be at least as effed up as everybody else, and that's saying something.;)
