[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 402073, member: 57984"] What made DYNASTY the gayest of the four had, ironically, nothing to do with it having gay characters. It's the thing that caused it to be dismissed as "a woman's show" which is what also made it the gayest. "A woman's show" is not a show of strong, prominent women (KNOTS had that and never fit the derisive "woman's show" bill) but a show where vanity and flattering of the women (even as they're insulting each other) is the entire point, and cohesive plotting or character development is secondary at best. Empty but overwrought romance as a time killer. Like drag, with no relevant narrative required. Although Jesus never mentioned the topic. And it's a matter of debate as to whether the New Testament brings it up. Leviticus, in the gnarly Old Testament, makes a couple of condemning references that appear to be about homosexuality, but that's beside calls for child sacrifice and not eating pork.
