Well, I am just not comfortable with est. characters showing homosexual feelings. Characters shown so include:

(1) Rawhide Kid & Northstar (Marvel comics)

(2) Brainy Smurf

(3) Dumbledore

(4) Simon Seville

I have never resorted to this element in my fan-fiction, even tho 10% of the population is gay (I judge by the number of gay porn magazines on every newstand).

I do recall an episode of this show where the following dialogue is spoken.

Alistair:(putting arm around Lionel) I love you !

Lionel: I wish you wouldn't say things like that !

Alistair: Well, it was said and it was meant !

Loved reading this story.
