I don't really agree with this. In fact, the media would likely attack this. If there's any chance for "equality" the media will snatch it. They're extremely liberal like that. How you describe the media sounds like the 1950s if anything. It's just a chart bro, I'm sure there's plenty of charts for homo/lesbian couples too.

Ok, but lets look at the biggest films last year; Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Guardians of the Galaxy, Maleficent, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Interstellar.

Only one out of 10 (interstellar) did not give us a central straight relationship. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think most people would rank those couples as being exceptionaly attractive too. Also mostly white.

I don't think many people would discribe that as diverse (or liberal), perhaps you have a talent for picking the right things to watch?

Also why should there be a separate sheet for homo couples?!? Its kind of creepy to try and segragate them out like that.

What does movie couples have to do with this flow chart? And dude, you were just complaining about how there aren't enough gay couples, now you're saying it'd be creepy if there was one for them? Like, how is that creepy? It's a flow chart. Just like this one, but with one specific sex.

The couples represented in moves are representative of couples in the media.

What I was describing as 'creepy' is that you don’t seem to think that other couples belong on this reference page. (its not a flow chart, maybe look up what a flow chart is) Art has the ability to be progressive, to improve our culture. There is nothing good about the idea that we should have separate sheets for heterosexual couples and homosexual couples. It sounds like a nasty echo of "separate but equal".

The point being, all varieties of couple belong on a sheet titled "Couples - poses chart". Filling this sheet with only one, mainstream, couple is poor art.

No, I never said that they don't belong, I was saying that this one is a chart that's aimed at people that are making art involving a heterosexual couple. I also said there's probably some for lesbians/gays. I don't see what's wrong with having multiple pages titled the same, but categorized. It would make finding it easier. Not so much to exclude, but to organize.
