message: James from Pokemon. He just crossdressed,and he hasn't really crossdressed in years. Why is he listed here? He has not shown any interest in men. Als,Jessie crossdressed just as much as him. 98.14.15.12 (talk) 04:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: * I know nothing of Pokemon or the habits of its characters, but the "T" in "LGBT" stands for "trans-" which includes transvestites and cross-dressers. Otto4711 (talk) 11:12, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Would the Tyler Perry "Madea" film series count under trans-gendered?
:* Doesn't matter for the purpose of this list since they are theatrically released films and this is for television. Otto4711 (talk) 02:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

message: (relocated comment from the top) I'm really not good at the whole editing thing, but it is odd to me that Willow and Tara's relationship in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is left off this list.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.162.68.48 (talk) 00:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

* Carsten Flöter as young student is gay and kissed 1987 Gert Weinbauer. Later he became in Lindenstraße a doctor after university and had a longterm relationship with Georg „Käthe“ Eschweiler. Suzanne Richter is a lesbian and has a relationship with Tanja Schildknecht. Together Richter and Schildknecht have later in life a baby and live together as LGBT parents. 
I think very important for the TV and media LGBT discussion in Germany GLGermann (talk) 15:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Any reason why we haven't included Stewie Griffin as  a gay character under the Family Guy heading? His creator recently confirmed that he saw the character as gay. Also wondering why we include the character of Hubert here. It describes him as a "gay paedophile". But they are two different things - padeophiles are attracted to children and don't fall under LGBT. Contaldo80 (talk) 12:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Both the English and American versions any reason why they are not listed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.78.157.64 (talk) 08:22, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The ReGenesis series has Carlos, who is indeed gay. Dunno how to add things to this list, though. Any reason it's not already on here? --76.89.164.24 (talk) 16:59, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  ReGenesis 

message: These characters never talked about being gay, but their mannerisms left little doubt in viewers mind.
Jonathan Harris as the effeminate Dr. Zachary Smith of Lost in Space (1965-68)
Charles Nelson Reilly as sissy Claymore Gregg in The Ghost and Ms. Muir (1968-69)
Paul Lynde as bitchy, bitter Uncle Arthur in Bewitched (1964-72)
As an example of obviously gay, but not “out” already on the list is Lieutenant Dangle.  Dangle as far as I know has never admitted being gay.  He just has unrealized and suppressed gay inclinations.  I could probably come up with more... anytime Paul Lynde, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Bruce Villanche (a regular of Hollywood Squares) appeared in other series or game shows.
:* If a character is not identified as gay, including a character on the basis of their "mannerisms" leaving "little doubt" is prohibited original research. I don't watch Reno 911 so can't comment on the specific character but any character who isn't explicitly identified as gay should be omitted. Otto4711 (talk) 15:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: * After reading this website,([]) I reluctantly agree with you for the purpose of this wiki article.  However, I still think that the perception of these characters as gay by a large percentage of the population (which is mentioned in several articles I've stumbled upon) counts for something.  Maybe an honorable mention or referral to a separate wiki article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.136.120.83 (talk) 18:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't know where to put this one - it might be in the Dramatic series or whatever list - but Beautiful People definitely counts under LGBT, and I don't see it anywhere. (The main character Simon, Kylie, Nathan (the teacher), Nathan's boyfriend whose name I forget, Sacha, Mickey, and possibly Haylie, off the top of my head. There's probably one or two more.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.166.187.131 (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
