actor Andrew Rannells has shot down critics of gay sex scenes on television.

In a new interview, Rannell’s has argued that after seeing straight sex portrayed on television for decades, it’s time gay sex “has a turn”.
“It seems like if you did the math, [gay sex] is still the tiniest fraction of sex seen on television,” he told ATVfest. “So, it bothers me. I don’t feel like we’ve saturated the market with explicit gay scenes.”
“We’re talking about a couple of very specific story-related incidents. We’ve also been watching a lot of heterosexual sex for decades, so it’s nice to finally have a turn,” he added.
