Now that's just depressing.

Well, living in Australia, I haven't seen any of those shows. Okay, now you've counted them up, which are actually positive queer characters - it worries me that The Office and maybe My Name is Earl are just using gay characters for a laugh.

On the bright side, there is "Brokeback Mountain" (and "Capote" and "Transamerica")

Very true! Bring on the gay Oscars! (As if awards shows aren't already gay enough :)

(I don't doubt that Hollywood has files like that!!) There's got to be some awesome stuff in there!

Just like slash, I'm sure there's good and bad. ;)
