The Gays of Runway
Of the 16 contestants on the fifth season of Project Runway, eight are men, and six of them are out gays. This compares to last season's four openly gay contestants and, when the show moves to the network for women and gay men, Lifetime, next season's 100 percent homo roster.

I think it's great that shows like this can promote the fact that gay do dominate in some industries. Still, I have concerns about how people perceive us as a whole - of course, we are not ONLY capable of careers in fashion, movies, or personal care, but there are some in the straight world that will still peg all of us in those categories. It's a difficult issue, to be sure.
