[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] You know, the fact that there has to be a thread about people's opinions regarding a potential gay chartacter shows how important it may be to have one. Could you imagine someone posting a thread saying, "What if [i]Enterprise[/i] has a black character?" or "What if [i]Enterprise[/i] has a female character?" It's an intersting look at how far our species has to go before we can claim to be truly accepting. A gay character should be no more shocking (or worth mentioning) than a black character. And in regards to [i]Enterprise[/i] needing high ratings, shows like [i]Will and Grace[/i] prove that even a total "gay show" can do well, and both [i]Buffy[/i] and [i]Xena[/i] show that the younger action fan set doesn't give a shit. Given that [i]Star Trek[/i] fans generally pride themselves on being openminded anc culturally cutting-edge, I can't imagine [i]Enterprise[/i] suffering from a single character, even if a few backwards individuals choose to balk. So I say, yes, please give us a gay character on [i]Star Trek[/i]. Not because it's socially revolutionary, not because it will be a good chance to explore complex issues regarding gay rights, but simply because gay people exist and after [i]forty[/i] main characters it's time to see one. For that matter, a Middle Eastern character wouldn't hurt, either. And all of this from a young white male from Texas. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
