Pretty neat turn of events. Let's see if he gets laid or not.

Obviously you don't know about Mr. Weatherbee's internet video business.

Priceless!

But that doesn't say anything about his orientation, just about his ability to know where to make a buck.

In all honesty: Yes, I do. Not revolutionary, but progress.

 

[Kulindahr]

Nope.

I see it as the same old stereotype again and again. I thought, with gay superheroes in Marvel, among other comic book fare, that we were done with the blond haired blue eyed tight clothed gay guy that girls find irresistible but they can't take the hint that the man isn't into them that way, but i guess this passes as progress - inclusion that tells no tales.

That's valid. But as with Will and Grace, doesn't it open a path for bigger things to follow?

He can reveal himself as bi-. That way, when Betty isn't paying him enough attention, he get his cuddling from the new guy in town.
