1. Everyone remembers the failtasticness of Joe M. from SG: Atlantis noting "hey, one of our dead chicks was a lesbian!", right? Well, Jane Espenson has sort of done her own stupid gaffe in regards to lesbians. Namely, she was quoted recently as saying (paraphrased) [BSG] has done lesbians, but we haven't had any gay men and we thought it was time.

Really? Done lesbians? What, you mean two women, both evil and both dead were considered enough lesbians by you? I guess a few more would have ruined the show with its lesbianism. Or something. Showing lesbians in a positive light = bad?

Because that's really sort of fucking fail right there.

Not to mention, gay men are now trendy, apparently.

2. I've seen two episodes of Psych. Two (it was amusing, but I've got other things to watch). My assumption, after watching these episodes was that, given Fandom's love of buddycop/almostbrother/etc pairings, Gus/Shawn was the fandom bicycle OTP that ate fandom.

However, according to a recent fandom secret, it's not. And reading the comments from people who don't ship it?

Really? You people find it too incesty? Their friendship is too perfect to ruin? In just this one single instance, you don't want to ruin the sanctity of their 'buddy-ness'?

What?

The failboat called for your asses.

This. I'm not saying it has to be frickin' Gaytopia, but sheesh. Odds are, someone is not straight. And more than one of them, even.

Not to mention a society where childbearing is borderline compulsory after a near genocide: What effect does that have on gays and their relationships? Wouldn't non-breeders be the object of increased scorn after the Cylon attacks? That they are already the object of scorn is a given, simply based on the fact that there are no openly gay characters, not even in the background.

Hey, I'd even take that. Though I don't think it's quite that bad, or women in the military/unpregnant would also be getting lots of hate and glares. And they're sorta not.
