I must say, this has got to be the most surreal LGBT-related argument I can remember having in a very long time. It seems rather chilling when someone takes issue not with LGBT topic discussion that is actually actively happening, but with any mention of actual details they perceive as implying an LGBT topic.

And it's actually weirder because I have been implying, elsewhere outside of article texts, that the character is indeed gay. But being able to dance vogue is only one individually inconclusive drop in a much larger bucket of heavy circumstantial evidence. One has to wonder what kind of mind feels so threatened by the mere mention of what actually occurred on-screen; what kind of mind finds that acknowledgment alone to be considered so wrong and offensive, as if the very idea that a character can be gay is something that insults and damages that character. Does that mind not realize what that attitude hurtfully says about LGBT people themselves?

Maybe I'm naïve. I'd just like us all to be past those kinds of attitudes and prejudices.
