I love your list, however there is one glaring inaccuracy.

"NBC’S “HEROES”
Popular television series nixes appearance of minor gay supporting character before show airs. Claire’s friend Zach was intended to be a gay character, with episodes planned for him, but his character was pulled from the show altogether."

If you research the story further, you'll find that it was the actor who played Zach that refused to portray a gay character. The writers, producers, etc. set up all the ground work for Zach to be gay, but the actor refused. That's why he was nixed from the show as well. Why they haven't followed up with another gay character, I can't tell you...but the original game plan was for Zach to be gay until the actor refused.
