Peter, Nick, and James (Peter’s blind date) are gay. There also isn’t a lot of the “I’m straight and supportive” narrative.
I was worried that the location change would bring about the closed-mindedness, as that seems to be the case when you have gay characters move from the big city to smalltown USA, but not only is there a lack of homophobia, but the gay characters are allowed to just BE without having to worry about Smalltown Sandra glaring at them for breathing the same air as her.
