Dec. 31st, 2013 03:34 pmI forget who I was talking to about Actual! Cecil Baldwin and his sexuality but:
It would’ve been very easy for Joseph and Jeffery to write a love interest for Cecil as a woman, but it would’ve made the show less interesting. Also, as someone who is gay I appreciate that here is something that I feel like the gay community can hold up and say, “Look we have a hero, we have something to look at and say, yes, we are normal, we are accepted, this Cecil and Carlos relationship is just as normal as anyone else’s.” And that’s what makes it interesting.
(from here. link goes to the cached version because I can't seem to get the non-cached to load.)
(The site also has an interview with the new Carlos. It involves hair politics. Just saying.)
