	this list is by no means comprehensive, and while every attempt has been made to represent people of all sexualities and ethnicities, women and the transgender population are sadly under-represented in this quiz. i tried to limit the quiz to regular rather than recurring characters.

	The same show with Omar you could also add Snoop.

	blurst:	May 22nd, 2011 at 07:33 GMT	2 points
	There is a name mix-up on Happy Endings. Adam Pally plays Max Blum, not Max Pally as Adam Blum.

	susanlyn:	May 22nd, 2011 at 14:14 GMT	4 points
	Good quiz. In terms of adding more women, there's always Kerry Weaver from ER.

	Schwagirl:	May 22nd, 2011 at 19:39 GMT	8 points
	This quiz needs more Jack Harkness. Just saying.

	bondfool:	May 22nd, 2011 at 19:46 GMT	4 points
	Ellen from Ellen.

	Tats:	May 23rd, 2011 at 00:32 GMT	7 points
	as groundbreaking as it was, i felt like "ellen walker (ellen degeneres)" was kind of an easy clue.

	Annie1:	May 23rd, 2011 at 16:00 GMT	4 points
	Here's another woman: Kalinda from The Good Wife.

	RJMurphy:	May 23rd, 2011 at 16:44 GMT	1 point
	In the intro could you define what was meant by LGBT. I had to look it up before starting, maybe its an american term I don't know.

	brez002:	May 23rd, 2011 at 18:05 GMT	1 point
	@RJMurphy yea, it's kinda well known in america.

	rockgolf:	May 24th, 2011 at 20:36 GMT	1 point
	Another possible additions: Bill Brochtrup as John Irwin (164 appearances between 2 prime time series - may be a record for a gay character)

	dayecarter:	May 26th, 2011 at 17:52 GMT	2 points
	Very nice quiz. If you want to even out the genders then you could always swap Kurt on Glee for Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera). She's a lesbian and an ethnic minority.

	lugenewalters:	May 26th, 2011 at 18:03 GMT	1 point
	Bianca Montgomery (All My Children).

	Tats:	May 27th, 2011 at 06:04 GMT	2 points
	just added in some more characters to fit in people's suggestions -- will probably stop here to keep the quiz from getting too bloated. @lugenewalters: bianca was one of my original picks for the quiz (also a highly influential character) but i decided against including daytime soaps just again to keep the size in check. i'm not a soap snob by any means.

	Tats:	May 27th, 2011 at 06:06 GMT	2 points
	also in a couple of cases (the chris colfer clue and the shawn pyfrom clue particularly) i used them as one of multiple queer characters just because they were the most well-known examples and it's kind of a tricky quiz otherwise if you're not up on that sort of thing.

	Shadowman621:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 14:47 GMT	1 point
	How about Wayne Brady's character from How I Met Your Mother?

	dgracer16:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 06:03 GMT	1 point
	haha i was pretty sad that ellen wasn't on there just because i thought it would be cool that all of the clues would be the same. I was wondering how you were going to handle shows like queer as folk, the l words, and glee where there are many gay characters.

	stencer:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 05:45 GMT	1 point
	This is a great quiz, however I have one criticism: as a major Degrassi fan, I must point out that Adam's character is actually transgendered, not gay. He considers himself a straight male trapped in a female's body. You can swap him out for Marco Del rossi (Adamo Ruggiero) or Riley Stavros (Argiris Karras); Marco was the gay character in the older seasons and Riley is the gay character in the newer ones. :)

	This quiz was built for LGBT characters. Hence, trans inclusive. Rebecca Romijn's character is trans as well.

	stencer:	Jun 8th, 2011 at 00:58 GMT	1 point
	Oh sorry, I overlooked that. Then it's pretty awesome that you included him. :)
