Darius: Who’s Martha Stewart?
Sterling: She writes picture books about gracious living. Martha says that nothing else matters if you can do a nice dried floral arrangement. I worship her.
Darius: And, um, who’s Ann Miller?
Sterling: Leave this house.

Jeffrey: Wait! You’re really a priest?
Father Dan: Of course.
Jeffrey: But… I mean, aren’t you supposed to be straight and celibate?
Father Dan: Maybe you didn’t hear me. I’m a CATHOLIC priest. Historically, that falls somewhere between chorus boy and florist.

“Lois, I’m just warning you. If this movie turns me gay, I’m gonna start bringing gay guys home. And I don’t mean the classy, ‘maybe-they-are,-maybe-they’re-not’ gay guys, I mean those big, ‘Oh-my-God, here-they-come, floating-around, making noise’ gay guys. Not the ‘fix-up-your-house’ gay guys.”

I don’t hunt out fiction for the orientation of their characters, so Vanyel in Mercedes Lackey’s Last Herald Mage series was a nice surprise for a gay character. it’s part of his character, but not a defining part. There’s even a nice scene where he tells a young lady who keeps throwing herself at him why it wouldn’t work, and why a ’show marriage’ would be even worse.

with commentary in the margins on the poor quality of prose, repeated use of cliché or absence of development of the characters.

My, how anal (no pun intended).

Gaeta and Hoshi on BSG have caught teh ghey.

Whodidwhatnow? Is that JapCrapimation?

Not very familiar with gay fiction. TGCpartner likes to watch gay movies just because he thinks it lends some sort of support. We did a mini film festival, a year or so ago, with movies from Blockbuster. They were all crap. I never knew what the hell was going on, just like any “indie” or foreign films.

That said, I read somewhere that it completed the relationship dynamic you had the Cain/Gina romance in Razor* (no knowing how legit that was on Gina’s part, since she was a six) You had the three way Baltar, Caprica, Three relationship, and of course the various hetro relationships.

Amusingly the cross species relationship (didn’t someone mention sex with robots) is the most stable, though I think Tyrol should have confided in Callie. I’m still mad she was killed.

*Yes, it’s the ‘evil l-e-s-b-i-a-n’ cliche. I didn’t write it.
