In general, it's becoming so widespread and annoying, that I've moved on to the cure of consuming much less western (meaning: American or certain British) media. So should you.
edit: Quite correct @ west being inept of portraying gay characters well. In fact, anime and manga do it extremely well indeed - any self-respecting anime fan should watch Junjou Romantica, where both the characters are extremely memorable and interesting, and the romantic side of things is portrayed extremely well. Better than 99% other shows I saw, at least.
