We have no intention of avoiding the gay question. We will not,
however, do a "gay story," which is usually described by those friends and
acquaintances of mine in derogatory terms...a la, "fags are people too."
The sense I get is that they resent the hell out of that kind of
patronizing approach. The one suggestion that comes most often is, "Why
not simply introduce a character, we get to know that character over the
run of a season, and at some point discover, practically in passing, that
this person is bi or gay...*don't* make a big issue out of it, just show
it."

And that's what we're going to do.

To give that information out now would defeat the dynamic of its
revelation. There's some stuff I can talk about, some that I can't. That
is one of them.

And how do you know you haven't already seen this character?
