Heroes: "*I* didn't think he was gay, so it's not a big deal"
(First Heroes officially reported wank? Maybe? *apparently missed out on some good stuff in another comm*)

So AfterElton.com posts an article about Heroes supporting character Zach, who's been arguably coded as gay (or bi) almost since we met him on the show. The article concerns recent NBC comments that no, Zach has never been anything but the straightest straight straight that ever straighted, sorry.

Said article is quoted and linked to on heroes_tv, and within an hour, the comments are flying.

Highlights:

Arguing over whether or not Zach's gay, including pointing out of typos, anecdotal evidence, and other totally mature lines of evidence.

A brief diversion into America's political and cultural stance on homosexuality, including the comment "And who says lack of acceptance of homosexuality is "screwed up?" Some would say homosexuality is screwed up."

But-it-was-just-my-opinion-why-is-everybody-picking-on-me?

I'll admit it; I've been following this all day, so I'm in there a couple of times. Mainly exhorting people to actually read the article first and waiting for it to get good enough to post. :)
