[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 334875, member: 57984"] Yes, Lucy snarky and occasionally insightful (like Afton) was what seemed to work best. But I just tend to [I][B]assume [/B][/I]Lucy was a lesbian -- a Sagittarian nerdy lesbian. But longtime real-life people often turn gay/bisexual because they've run out of ideas. Oh, for sure. The culture changed in the early-'90s (post the advent of AIDS, which today, I guess, is monkeypox) and everyone suddenly fell out of the closet. Hollywood began to reflect that shift but went overboard with it, and still does -- shoehorning in homosexual stuff, forcing it down our throats and grinding away. It is exhausting and irritating and contrived, and, at the risk of sounding like an old fogey, if they never mentioned gayness again in movies and TV, I'd be just fine. I mean, now we know why, for so many eons, homosexuality was known as "the love that dare not speak its name," -- because once it starts talking, it just won't shut up (my posting count over the last few months notwithstanding). We now have drag queen story hour, toddlers at strip shows, and empathy for "m.a.p.s" --- not the fault of most gay folks, mind you, but too much "acceptability" (or the weird blend of old-school oppression and new-found tolerance) just brings out the fringe crazies. So whatchya gonna do?? Herd them all back into the closet? Somebody's probably going to try. I still say it's a CIA plot.
