Firefly's Sean Maher comes out

Can't say I have the slightest interest in anyone's sexual preference, but whatever. It takes guts to come out publicly. More power to him.
 
I had a feeling he was gay. I didn't know for a fact but I sense it from him when he was doing episodes of Firefly. Good for him to come out. It takes guts to do that and face the aftermath.
 
This is what the paranoid conspiracy theorist locked up inside me thinks.

(I swallowed the key but it's too dark in my soul to find.)

Playboy Club sucks and he knows it.

This is him trying to get out.

Either to tank the show, or allow an exit to suddenly manifest.

However, it could backfire.

The producers could make his character gay and and suddenly there's a whole bunch of cable-like pg 13 boy on boy and the Playboy Club becomes a success.

Unless that's what he wanted, or what he was offered.

If the producers said...

"Dude, you're gay? You are gay. Do you want to play gay? You are going to play gay. It would help the show if you came out, add some realism. If you don't come out you're fired."

Dude, you've got a scary mind... but... sometimes I love your posts :bolian::bolian:
 
I wonder how long it will take before the mods have to close this thread? ;)
They aren't going to have to.
These type announcements are just so 1995, the people that might once have raised hell about it just don't care enough cause it's a losing battle or aren't around.

Was that when Michael Stipe came out? :)

I remember there once being a pretty large group of fundamentalist conservatives here that would cause problems in any thread related to homosexuality. Those where the great Is Reed Gay? debates of 2001!
 
Damn, when I saw the title I thought he had some shocking revelations about how/why the cancellation of Firefly happened, or something like that.
 
Huh. Well...he never set off my gaydar...so I suppose that is one more testament to his acting abilities, though admittedly, mine isn't that good.
Please...have you seen his scenes with Adam Baldwin? Sexual tension you could cut with a knife!
 
^ And what about all those times that Simon and Mal sucker-punched eachother. They were just setting the stage for some make-up sex.

Remember in the pilot, when Jayne was at the infirmary window watching Simon operate on Kaylee while rocking back and forth.

We never did find out who he was there to spy on? :)
