Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

There has been a substantial growth in the portrayal of gay and lesbian characters in television and movies, to the point where it has become almost routine. However, gay couples or families are still rather scarce in these media, being portrayed in substantially smaller proportions than their real numbers would warrant if the media were attempting to reflect reality.
