The Simpsons has lagged a little lately, and this could be a jump to boost ratings. The last big thing they had, really, was " Who Shot Mister Burns." The usual suspects have all been rounded up.
So, the question remains: Who will it be?
Many people I know bet Smithers. The thing is that the comedy of Smithers being gay is part of the show. We all KNOW Smithers is gay, but it's never been said. Some of the best lines have come from Smithers gay-related stuff.
" Dogs? Smithers, what would you think if I came into your house, sniffted your crotch and slobbered all over you?"
" If you did it sir...?"
It could be him, just because he's the first choice.
How about Selma? The twin sister that never tries for guys and was *suspected* of being in the Springfield gay Pride Parade last year. Sure she was married to Troy MaClure and Sideshow Bob, but in the closet people apparently do that.
Speaking of Troy, he is out..he likes sea animals...
Millhouse was a possibility in my mind, but I was reminded of the Future episode where Lisa and Marge are talking about Lisa losing her virginity to Millhouse, but it didn't count. But, to me, Millhouse ( Or forever in my mind thanks to the shoplifting/Bonestar Episode as Thrillho) comes off as gay.
So, who is it? Any ideas? Please, I want to hear from you all.
PS< I hope it isn't a one time character that comes out. The premise is that Homer becomes a minister to marry gays, and that is where it spawns from. I would like to see a continous gay character, or someone like John Water's character come back for a bit.
