While the number of gay/bisexual characters on scripted television has, at best, held steady over the past decade (and doesn’t exactly represent the diversity of gay men in the real world), it’s a different story when it comes to the depiction of gay men on reality television. Indeed, along with the explosion of reality programming has come a dramatic increase in the numbers and types of gay and bisexual men appearing on our television screens.From the groundbreaking appearance of Pedro Zamora on "The Real World: San Francisco" to the current seasons of "The Amazing Race, Survivor: Tocantins", and "Make Me a Supermodel", there is a breadth of gay men that is quite frankly astounding.
In fact, there have now been so many gay and bisexual men on reality television that AfterElton.com let their readers choose their favorites of all time.
