In The Seinfeld Episode, The Cadillac, the heterosexual perspective is promoted. None of the characters are gay and they all try to find members of the opposite sex to date. George is engaged to marry Susan, but is trying to find a way out of the commitment. Jerry starts dating a girl exactly like him, and Elaine pretends to have a boyfriend to help George create a lie to tell Susan because he was spending time with another woman. Kramer is having a battle with the cable guy throughout all this and Jerry's dad is impeached from his senior community presidential office. Homosexuality is never mentioned or alluded to in the episode. However, heterosexuality is shown frequently. George and Susan are free to marry because of their sexuality and they can publicly display their affection without fear of harassment. The characters are all straight and don't associate with any homosexuals in this episode (and most others).
Susan could be analyzed because after dating George for the first time, she became a lesbian until Kramer brought her back. However, that spanned several episodes.
