Huffington Post Gay Voices Interview With Jackson & Doc
Kicking off the Comic-Con interview bonanza this year is Huffington Post Gay Voices, who put together a nice interview with Jackson and Doc that goes into the many gay characters in the series. There are also a few tidbits in there about the upcoming season, the most interesting being that Col. Gentleman will have a "decent episode" this season. Here's a snip:
And what of your other [straight] characters? What’s your mindset [when writing for them]?
Doc Hammer: Jackson and I are not gay and we’re not supervillains and we’re not women. We’re not any of these things. We draw upon them the same way we would any other character. If you write for a character that has the same sexual preference as you, doesn’t matter, they’re not you. So when we write a gay character, it’s just one more thing that he has.
Jackson Publick: Yeah, we write them differently but no differently than all the real character specifics that we take into account when we’re writing anybody else.

Interesting read. I think it's funny that my 2 favorite [as] shows of all time easily have the most gay characters (Venture Bros. and Frisky Dingo). At least all the characters on VB are different are are not your stereotypical throw-in gay (that bit gets old). The top 35 [as] characters at the bottom makes no mention of Sgt. Hatred....and he's a recurring character, not a 1-use joke character used in 1 episode like some (ei: Rupert). I agree with Doc though, it'd be nice if sexuality wasn't news.

pedophillia is a nasty slur that often thrown at gay people but most gay people are only interested in adult men. While most pedophiles identify themselves as straight men. Remember that Sgt Hatred was intensely devoted to his wife Princess Littlefeet. Unlike Mr. Gentleman there were no cabana boys in his operation.
