The writers of these shows know that there are straight women who fantasise about being so good looking that they convince gay men to have sex with them, and there are straight men who fantasise about being so good looking that they convince lesbians to have sex with them. There are gay men and lesbians with these fantasies about straight men and straight women too, but we are a tiny minority of the population, so the media acts like we should be grateful we get any representation at all. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want straight characters sleeping with members of the same sex either, but I want the writers of TV programmes and movies to understand what the definition of "homosexual" is. And honestly, I would rather there be no representation of us than there be representation of us that is negative or inaccurate.
