kardashians? I can't hear about that dippy family without giggling a little. I think they really are Cardassians, poorly disguised. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

however Troy left off the homosexual relationships in the Iliad as did the 300 leave off the strictly enforced homosexual nature of Spartan military forces. Alexander was crap though. 
It had such potential to be excellent as a historical piece, as an action movie, as a biography, as a gay love story, and it failed on all points. And consider this: all the hoopla over Colin Farrell playing bisexual, and his character doesn't even once kiss Hephaestion, the love of his life. I'm calling shenanigans on Alexander for not being good, and Troy for de-gaying everyone. Spartacus has that famous bath scene in it. My Legacy

Just an idea. meh. spidey shouldn't be gay. i do hope the next x-men highlights colussus more and they go with the ultimate line and make him gay. that was an unexpected and genius move. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

Exclusive: Meet "Spartacus: Blood and Sand"'s Intriguing New "Gay" Character
In the x episode of the season (debuting January 22nd at 10 PM) we learn that the character of y, a gladiator fighting in the ludus (think training academy) owned by Batiatus (John Hannah), is not only "gay" but has a relationship with a slave. http://www.afterelton.com...r-revealed And we learn the info in a particularly ... visual way. Let's just say it's not something seen too frequently on American televisions. How do y's fellow gladiators feel about having a "gay" gladiator in their midst? Is there some type of Roman "Don't ask/Don't tell" policy at work? Not in the least. In fact, it's a complete non-issue which is just as it should be. Here is how the network describes the character: A big, hulking brute of a man, an esteemed gladiator and also Batiatus’s bodyguard and sometimes hit man, y is second only to z at the ludus. Though possessed of a temper and an imposing stature, he tempers this with the tenderness he shows his collection of birds and Pietros, a slave boy. He is free of guile, loyal to Batiatus but secretly pines to gain his freedom. y isn't like quite like any other gay character you've seen on television before. Not only is he tough as nails (he's nicknamed the q for his feats on the battlefield), but he's also kind of an arrogant, foul-mouthed jerk who, at least so far, is not on the side of Spartacus (Andy Whitfield). And that's great. if you want to be surprised don't click the link bolded letters are where i removed info to prevent spoilage [Edited 1/13/10 17:15pm] You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

Or do something with (Arc)Angel. Though Mystique is canonically bisexual, I'd rather they avoid that on the big screen. There's far too much opportunity to make that a cheap exploitative grab to titillate straight men. Making her naked was bad enough IMO. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

This looks like it'll be along the lines of what I mean. If it is, I'm for it.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I'd be so happy with big, gay Colossus though.

piotr and nightcrawler were always my faves. i had total prepubescent crushes on those characters. and as much as i am not into buff guys, the movie peter was hun-kay.
