"baby steps" I totally agree. It isn't about what is right, it is about what will work. As a bisexual man I have always found shoving something down anyone's throat (hehe, nice analogy)will cause them to gag or puke. Look at the Oscar's this year. Look how many gay characters got the election, look at Ang Lee winning best director, PSH winning for Capote.
This is by far a victory for some in the gay community that will help pave the way for future forays into gay film. Any attempt to call for conspiracy makes the important issues look foolish and innacurate.
