[edit] Not necessary!

Is this sort of thing necessary? Smacks of homophobia to me. PatrickJ83 01:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

What's homophobic? The inclusion of certain names, like Harkonen, or the whole category? I could see the other side saying it's a "gay agenda" gay studies kind of category. That it's pointing toward the role gay men have in fiction ala The Celluloid Closet.--T. Anthony 04:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It is because there isn't a category for fictional heterosexual men? — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 21:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

So does this mean the "men" part should be removed to make it "Fictional gays"? Or does it mean Category:Gay actors is homophobic because there is no Category:Straight actors?--T. Anthony 07:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Category:Fictional lesbians exists, as does Category:Fictional bisexuals so I can only assume that it's because nobody on Wikipedia is categorised as heterosexual. I don't think that's homophobic, but I don't see what else PatrickJ83 could mean. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 16:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't Waylon Smithers (Simpsons) be in this category?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.205.174 (talk) 02:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
