I DVRed Razor and just finished watching it...immediately after the credits end, Jamie Bamber comes on the screen and starts saying something about gay people, and then the recording ends...did anybody see that? What was that all about, did it have anything to do with BSG? Was it like..."Please remember that gay people are NOT always sleeping with Cylons and giving them access to our secrets, they're actually very trustworthy"? Or did they just happen to have Jamie Bamber hanging around the studios in between shooting and they grabbed him to do a public service announcement because he was the nearest actor in reach?

Jamie Bamber, the dashing (and very straight) actor from "BattlestarGalactica" has a message for you: Members of the gay and lesbian community should not only be friends, but they should be allies as well. Bamber, who appears in the commercial with a beard, is doing the spot for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation organization, and is part of several 20-second spots being produced with actors including Jerry O'Connell and Jason Lewis. It will air immediately following Saturday's broadcast of the "Battlestar Galactica" telemovie "Razor."


just a cut and paste :p

Before we know that Gina was bisexual, and everybody assumed she was straight, we didn't have anybody talking about "violence against heterosexuals"...hmm...

I must say, I'm continually confounded by the drive that some homosexuals have to announce their orientation and such on a recurring basis. I think I'm going to make up a symbol that means "I am heterosexual" so that I can glue it to my car, my laptop, my backpack...or not.

OK... So it wasn't because Gina broke Helena's heart and becauseactually Helena was a mean bitch but because it was they wanted to pickon on a lesbian person or should I say, Cylon? It was Helena whoordered to torture Gina and since Helena was a lesbian I don't see thepoint of the article. Can't there be a move with gay people but withoutany articles or announcements attached to that?
Unless I'm wrong ;)

I had thought that the story just had gay characters, no big deal or plot point, but GLAAD prolly picked up on it and wanted to use it to their advantage.

why keep calling it by name? It is a cylon. I don't believe chosen or not. Sexual preference is not in their making. They just do as "programmed" (knowingly activated or not) I mean "little people" did not come on after the original miniseries stating that they are lovable people too when Six was sleeping with Baltar. Why this now?

why keep calling it by name? It is a cylon.Because there are a lot of Sixes, but "Gina" specifies WHICH Six.

But you all must be forgetting. Her sleeping with a HUMAN being female or not does not determine her sexuality. She is cylon so this borders more along the line of looking outside ones own species altogether.

In terms of sexuality, the Cylons seem to be fairly bisexual... Remember the threesome between Baltar, Six and D'anna?

I don't think the Cylons look at sexuality the same way we do, either.

Honestly, if they get together fine, I don't wanna picture EJO getting it on either.

I wanna see Adama/Roslin :D Or Baltar/Gaeta action, that would be something. But when you got such a hottie as Number Six no one has a chance ;)

Gaeta's not gay damnit.

Yes he is :D But we will see on the 4th season. Unless some gay activists will start saying that it's was wrong how they showed Geata and things like that. I'm with all my heart with gay people but sometimes the problems they find out are just silly.
Anyway, Geata's cool, there should be a little more of him in the 4th season.

I like him a lot and I'd certainly love to see more of him.

Just for shits and giggles I'd LOVE to see some situation where he is forced to pilot something for the first time since OCS :D

What the hell makes people think Gaeta is gay? He's a secondary character, they haven't even addressed a personal life at all.

Wishful thinking on the part of some.

Because there's really nothing that screams "gay" from Gaeta, other than the superficial connotation of his name. "Oh, Gay-tah must be ga-hay, y'all."

Wishful thinking on the part of some.It seems to be a recurring theme...some fans just want every one of their favorite characters to be secretly gay. I've known people like this, and I can't understand it for the life of me.
