    I don't miss that intermediate stage between sanctioned normalized everyday old fashioned homophobia on TV and today. You know, when "I'm COMING OUT OF THE CLOSTHEEEET!" was a punchline and being gay was a joke as an intermediate step toward some acceptance.

    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt at least did a clever spin on that tiresome 90s trope: Titus Andromedon, as a character, expected melodrama when he came out to his boyfriend's gruff :anti-italian-action: family and was actually annoyed that that family accepted both of their status without incident.
