I'm Tired of Reading This...3 of 25
INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS (3):
The 'gay' thing : not that there's anything wrong in having two characters showing their mutual affection, even on a sexual basis, but what's with everyone immediately interpretating a display of male brotherhood or tender friendship into a gay thing. Don't get me wrong, the issue isn't about sexuality, but about over-sexualizing things and assuming that gay people are more likely to explicitly show their feelings. This also counts for women, and for a situation where an effeminate man or a 'strong' woman are labelled as potential gays.
