I want to see more "Benign Queerness"

Its briefly mentioned that the character is gay or bi or trans and then it never comes up again because its not relevant to their job in a hospital/cop/whatever.

I feel like Brooklyn 99 did this well. ~~The chief~~ Captain Holt is a really interesting nuanced character who happens to be gay.

Minor nitpick: he was Captain, not Chief.

And him trying to pass for straight was some of the funniest scenes in the show:

Guard: It just seems like you wanna be with Jamie-Lynn. I mean, you keep talking about her thigh gap.

Captain Holt: That's my favorite part of a woman. There's nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis.

Right. Captain. Thanks.

Andre Braugher was a comedic genius.
