Yeah, I guess without a gay person in every show the world would end.
Nothing against homosexual's but it seems like every show I watch now has to throw a gay character in. And I don't watch that many shows. lol -

Yeah it's like they are representing a true reflection of society. I mean if 10% of the population is gay obviously any tv show with over 10 characters should have a gay person. How dare they have one in every episode. I mean, I like when they shove the straight people down the public throats and ignore "that" element. On that note what's with all the blacks and latinos popping up in every show. Merica (in sarcastic annoying voice)

Based on the 2013 NHIS data [collected in 2013 from 34,557 adults aged 18 and over], 96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual. The remaining 1.1% of adults identified as something else[]" [0.2%,] stated I dont know the answer[]" [0.4%] or refused to provide an answer [0.6%].
More specifically, 1.8 percent of men self-identify as gay and 0.4 percent as bisexual, and 1.5 percent of women self-identify as lesbian and 0.9 percent as bisexual.
"The results are generally in the same ballpark as past estimates and far below the long-debunked 10 percent estimate. But past data that Ive seen had suggested that there were about twice as many gay or bisexual men as lesbian or bisexual women; this data suggests that there is no such gender gap." ~~~ The Washington Post

sicgtp, I watch many, many shows, and a gay person is in almost EVERY show now. The thing with Gregorio is, I think many people would have wanted to start shipping her with Pride, but the powers that be - the writers and producers - don't want that, so to stop the thought from happening, they made her gay, or bi (cause she was married to a man before). I didn't see the necessity. I think writers are forcing the issue when it is not even necessary.

Yeah I agree with you. Fags, dykes and all these mixed race situations are destroying the morality and purity of humanity. I am so sick of all these pro-gay and the procuring of the dissolution of human (white) race by coupling Whites with any subspecies of semi humanoid entities is an attack on the only true humans inhabiting this planet. Go back to species sticking to their own kind. Beastiality is both immoral and abdormal.

I got the impression that as she stated she got into that relationship when she first moved to New York and was lonely and in a bad place in her life. She mentioned she "didn't know who she was". So they may be leaving the door open for her to swing either way depending on fan mail or whim of the writers.

No, some of us mentioned this before her character came on. The writers' stated her character was going to be gay. That's why when some initially were saying her & Pride would get together, we posted what the writers said. And just because she was married, doesn't mean she wasn't gay.

And just because she was married, doesn't mean she wasn't gay.
Why do people keep saying that all the time? It's like there's a desire to prove that people get married to the opposite sex but are secretly gay.

Her being a lesbian is in no way a recent attempt by the writers to get people to like her more. It was always planned. The head of CBS' entertainment department spoiled already before the season even began that Gregorio was a lesbian, but even without that spoiler, there were hints earlier in the season. She never had a "great" relationship with her former husband. In fact, she mentioned pretty much the opposite, that they got married really young and that she didn't know who he really was, and that she didn't even know who she was.
Vanessa Ferlito who we cast in NCIS: New Orleans, her character is lesbian and theyre doing a storyline a little later in the fall where the audience will understand that and see that.
That's a quote from an article published August 10th.

CBS' entertainment president specifically said lesbian, and I don't see any reason to doubt that, since it's not uncommon at all that people don't realize (or accept) that they're gay until they're older. So if she got married real young it's not impossible or even unlikely that she's a lesbian and not bisexual. And her line about how she "didn't even know who [she] was" indicates lesbian, rather than bisexual.

Your either gay or straight the networks have no room for Bisexuals. It's like they are afraid of the topic. My guess is it offends some lesbians because there are a few whom under no circumstances wants to see any woman sleeping with another woman also sleeping with a man. This is said to both sexes.

Unfortunately, you're not wrong.
For instance, a show called Chasing Life featured a bisexual girl, (and she always identified as bisexual, and never as a lesbian,) when she dated another girl, everything was fine and dandy, but when she dated a guy, some lesbians attacked the show for giving into hetero storylines. I mean, what did they expect Being bisexual means that you're likely to sometimes date a girl, and sometimes date a guy.
However, fortunately enough, there were a lot of lesbians that called them out by saying that biphobia is just as ugly as homophobia.

William on This is Us. He's older, dying of cancer, black, & a grandpa. And boy are some having a field day. Just like Gregorio, people are saying the writers basically just threw this in. But we have no idea of their past. Both had relationships with the opposite sex, but we don't know a whole lot more.
