But what are your thoughts on homosex?
Sci-fi writer John C. Wright does not approve of the Sci-Fi channel's apparent pandering to the "homosex" crowd.

The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie. They will play along.

Homosex. It's almost kind of catchy!

I'd like someone, anyone, to explain to me how my culture reached a position where a public entertainment company can be criticized for failing to contribute to the moral decay of the land, and that the criticism would be taken seriously, and the company would cringe and promise to do better.

Someone explain to me by what series of events persons with serious sexual-psychological malfunctions would somehow be awarded the status of moral arbiters, something like priests and confessors and sages -- except that the passkey to being a guardian of public conscience in our age is the absence of moral value, not the presence.


Explain they do. As soon as the post is referenced in a MetaQuote, the dissenters are off to reply to Mr. Wright. The initial reaction is small, but promising. Most responses are rational and non-inflammatory. Others are quite succinct and curt. A number of users coming in presumably through MetaQuotes announce Mr. Wright's loss of a potential customer, as long as Mr. Wright does indeed use their filthy, filthy Leftist dollars.

Come, my liberal leftist comrades! You openly boast of your superior intellectual power and more profound moral sobriety than we mere working Joes of flyover country (including working Joes like me with a doctorate in law who works in DC). You have anointed yourselves our superiors: that means you are smart enough to explain it. By what logic is the sole and single standard of virtue in your world view an absolute devotion to vice? By what logic is the sole and single sin the sin of having standards of virtue, what you call being intolerant?

'dem sure be fancy words.

Battlestar Galactica had a gay character, Felix Gaeta, who openly kisses his boyfriend in a webisode. Later in the series they make a big deal out Felix and his beau being on opposite sides of a mutiny. At one point Adama clearly treats him as next of kin. What more do these people want? If that is not enough to make them happy, nothing will.

Not on a webisode! Oh internet, is there no end to the filth you provide?

Yeah, come on, there's one same-sex -- sorry, I mean homosex -- couple in all of sci-fi television*, shouldn't that be enough for you people? How could you possibly want more representations of such relationships on television (possibly even ones that don't end in tragedy!) when you've already got one?

* I know there are actually a few more than that, but my point stands.

Maybe Captain Jack and his manwhoring ways are meant to be enough, instead?

Oh lord, I think this man's head would explode if he went anywhere near Torchwood.

The amount I'd like to send him Torchwood just for the proximity explosion is THIS MUCH

Yeah! It's not like neither Gaeta's sexual orientation nor Gaeta's relationship with Hoshi were never mentioned on the actual show and then Gaeta ended up dead or anything. Us queers should just shut up and be happy.

...Oh, wait.

I had NO IDEA--I had dialup and never got to see the webisodes.

That's a shame. The webisodes were quite good. Almost as if they should have been an actual episode!
