I hear the smart money is on Mr Smithers...but then again, Carl and Lenny seem to spend a lot of time together......

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

I don't watch it otherwise I'd turn my gaydar on and see if I could pick up any vibes :p:

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

I heard this on the way into work this morning, and I just can't decide - let's face it, they've done everything but actually have him say it to let us think that Smithers is gay, but I've got a sneaky feeling that it might be one of Marges sisters (whichever one it is that doesn't keep getting married!).

Then again, maybe Ned Flanders has had a change of heart :erm: ;)

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

No Homerphobia there then :D

Smithers is obviously favourite... but don't rule out Krusty the Clown.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Anyone watching GMTV at the moment? Nancy Cartwright is on after the break...

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Don't rule out the married. There's many a married man that hides the wedding ring and hangs around the local public toilets :)

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

What about Milhouse? I've always been suspicious of kids with blue hair!

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Marges sister paddy, milhouse, one of the bullies (that would a good one)

could be anyone thoough

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Will it be another 'who shot Mr. Burns' saga. The person you least expect, Grandpa, Comic book guy?

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Surely not Comic Book Guy? He had a fling with Skinners mother (although, thinking on, that could do it :eek: :sick: )

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

I suspect the mad scottish school janitor, short term memory loss has kicked in and can't remember his name, McDoodledoo or something

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

groundskeeper willy...

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Sleep deprivation led me to read groundskeeper as greencreeper... I thought the rumours had started again :p:

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Surely you don't mean Groundskeeper Willie (who was implicated in the Aberdeen Strangler murders!)? I don't think he's gay, although he does seem to have an unhealthy obsession with his tractor!

Mind you, he does keep himself remarkably buff ( :jk: )

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Everyones forgetting soemthing here - the shows about a gay Marriage - that takes two people - and everyone knows Smithers is Gay anyway.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Flanders.....

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Flanders and Tim Lovejoy, a gay and Church scandal!!!

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Maud Flanders rises from the dead, and marries Marge maybe?

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Hmmm, interesting theory (if not a little scary!)

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

the weddiing doesnt have to invlove the character whoos coming out

Theres two many people and the writes will try to shock everyone anyway. Bart, Milhouse, Flanders, smithers, grandpa all favorites to a lesser extent you can also include hibbet, grondskeeper willy, and so on

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

what about bumblebee man or Gil, just to throw everyone ;)

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

it will be someone big enough to the main cast (outside of the simpsons theemselfs)

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

How about Snake, the jailbird?

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Maybe Apu, or the Doctor?

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Lenny and Karl ;) AFAIK case dismissed.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Gil's got a family to support!!!

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

The news says only one character. Lenny and Karl/Carl are two characters - one can't come out without outing the other.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

Hmm,
True, but a wedding takes two people irrespective of what they say - and the only person in the simpsons who is resonably openly gay is Smithers (and he to my knowledge has nver come out - its just inferred). Which can only mean, if its only one person coming out, that its Mr Burns.

Seems unlikely - but you never know.

Im sticking with Lenny / Carl.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

After see this on the front page of the times, it brought the idea into sharp focus as nothing more than a publicity stunt. Although I would think it would be a gamble, giving the attitude in America at the moment, in fact I would be expecting Bill O'reily to call for a boycott if it wasn't also FOX.

NB: Bill O'reilly called a boycott against pepsi for hiring an inflammatory rapper which was supposedly successful and also has one currently going for any French goods.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

My first thought was Carl and Lenny, but the announcement is about one charecter so what about Moe, we know very little of his private life, and he never seems very successful with the ladies. :D

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

He/she is coming out the closet. Some people build a closet of MDF, others of steel plating. Going for the characters who aren't successful with women or who have lots of male friends is too easy. I'm guessing that whoever it is, you'd never suspect them.

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

What about Rainier Wolfcastle, then? Maybe that's the reason he used to wear lederhosen ( :jk: !)

Re: Simpsons gay scandal!!
 

I don't watch the Simpsons as much as I should - great social and political commentary - so I'm not familiar with the characters beyond the immediate family and Mr Burns. Someone religious - that would be a shock. He/she might have an alcohol or substance abuse problem given the stresses of living two lives. Oh and anyone who lives with their mother still.
