I made the mistake of trying to watch a show called "Big Bang Theory", which I understand is a pretty big hit, and couldn't get past the gay character(s)

Which character on Big Bang Theory is gay? There are none, as far as I know.

There are none on the show, some people get confused between TV and real life.

I believe this was also reported on TMZ and elsewhere (sorry about giving them a click, but just posting this to back up my statement and respond to your questions):
