"I don't know if Dan would be the first. I think he has the same size chance as any writer to make the first homosexual couple."

I think people believe he will be the first for a kid's network because he has so many references to gay characters in his shows. I think Dan would love to have that huge milestone under his belt and he would love to do it before Disney. I actually think Disney will be first but it won't be for awhile. Yes, I know they are more conservative but Disney has been a huge supporter of gay rights going back to the early 90s and ABC and ABC Family (ABC is owned by Disney) both feature a lot of gay characters. And, honestly, Disney can afford to upset people. The Disney Channel is like one percent of their overall profits. It is an afterthought to them. Viacom needs Nick to be succesful and liked more than Disney needs the Disney Channel to be. Good Luck Charlie has made references to gay couples, as well.

But it will be awhile for both. Because appeasing small minded bigots is important for some reason.
