"In fact, for several years now, there has been one recurring character who, in my mind, is gay but there has never been an opportunity to confirm the fact. While I feared that suggesting it in a throw-away (“I’m heading back to Earth to spend time with my boyfriend. See ya!”) would seem like a truly forced WTF moment for fans, alternately, making a big deal of it felt wrong as well. So, unless the right circumstances present themselves for this character, the fans can simply go ahead assuming he is heterosexual until such a time that, in a Rowlingesque postscript, I can add: “And, oh yeah, by the way - he was gay.”

So who do you think it is?
My bet's on Lorne - I LOVE Lorne!
(not sure why they couldn't have done it anyway)

I think Lorne is, because he likes to paint (Cited in Sunday) and used to like to go shopping at the flea market when he was younger (Cited in The Kindred)

I think Zelenka is straight. Remember Quarantine, when he was looking at Carter's dirty pillows. Yup, the guy likes the woman.

[Gate Rider]

I'd agree with Lorne

I also agree, it's definitley NOT Zelenka!

Zelenka had his eyes ficated on Carter's um well you know what. Any guy tempted to look in the valley of the hills of music is not gay. lol.

Chuck!!

He would be safe to announce that he was going back to Earth to spend time with his boyfriend! Is he military or civilian?

It's sorta like with Clay Aiken, yeah we did not see that one coming.

You gota watch out for the quite ones! You just never know what they are really like!

[the fifth man]

I think it is probably Lorne too.

[Briangate78]

We need to get a poll going.

They did have that quite moment on the balcony at night sharing a cigar and brandy!!

If I ask the mods to make a poll, which characters should I include?

[Giantevilhead]

It's not Lorne because of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Yeah, I was thinking Woolsey too.

[Gate Rider]

It's not Woolsey. Remeber the hallucination? If it was him it would have been a guy.

The real answer is posted on the main page.

Well, based on the interview, it must be Earth personnel, since I don't think any of the aliens could be described as going back anywhere. So, it must be Lorne. He's the only recurring character worthy of note that hasn't looked down Sam's top. Any of the other technicians haven't been in it enough for a "I'm going back to see my boyfriend" scene to be worth anything. No offense to the Chuck lovers, but I'm afraid he's just not that important.

Edit: Part of the answer is on the main page, but not totally.

Just looked at the main page - they talk about a female character who they wrote as gay, but JM was talking about one of the guys.
