Battlestar Galactica Gettin' More Gays



Last time BSG had a gay character, she was played by Michelle Forbes and was a semi-crazy admiral involved with a toaster. The news that the new version of that venerable 70's show (which could be one of the best shows on U.S TV) will feature a new gay character is exciting for us gay-geeks. The best news would be if Apollo came out, played by the luscious Jamie Bamber, but that doesn't appear to be in the cards. Instead, it appears that Felix Gaeta, played by Alessandro Juliani, is revealed to have a lavender side in "The Face of the Enemy," a 10-part webisode series on SciFi.com. Of course, he's not the only one, but he's the only major recurring character to come out. I seem to remember Felix hooking up with a woman in a prior season, so maybe he swings both ways. Anyways, thank the Lords of Cobol for out gay characters on TV.
