It was very fashionable for about five minutes to kick up a stink about possibly being gay in Star Wars : The Old Republic. This week it’s this thing. https://www.facebook.com/StarWarsDailyNews/posts/504142613124336?comment_id=504989423039655&notif_t=share_reply
I’m so glad we got this out of our system in Babylon 5, Buffy, Doctor Who, almost every DC superhero show on air now, a few Marvel ones but not Star Trek (unless the gay giant jellyfish count) http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Trek-TNG-on-BluRay-confirmed/id/13387/page/6 or Star Wars.
It might just clear the air if we had loads of female non-Caucasian characters humping each other (off screen…please… someone think of the children) regardless of gender (I’m aware of the paradox). Just to balance out the first few episodes (Beru, Leia and Mon Mothma and transgender Rebel Pilot v a whole galaxy).
Ideally fictional people would be people with variety relative to audience experience.
Caprica had a gay couple and multi-partner marriages and it never got in the way of the plot anything like the fanboys complaining about the low number of splosions.
