I absolutely agree that if a gay character is introduced, their sexual orientation should not be their sole defining trait and instead be seen as just one of their characteristics. To be fair, since TD is a show mainly about taking stereotypes and making them into cast members, I would assume a male gay character would be somewhat like Jacques or Tom, while a lesbian character would probably be akin to Jo. But if they managed to make a dumb blonde interesting and sympathetic, the could certainly do the same to a flamboyant gay guy or a tomboyish lesbian. Whether they did it like this or just created a character with a completely different stereotype and made them gay, it'd be interesting to watch.

That being said, as I already commented on your previous blog about homosexual characters in TD, I don't see them making an openly gay character or tackling their sexuality beyond a few hints, since the show is aired in many different countries, in some of which (Russia, Poland etc) an overwhelming majority of parents would not be fine with their children watching "a show about gays", and there would be a risk of losing a broadcaster.
