Bets available on which Simpsons character is gay

MrNuked · 2004-08-21 09:31:20

Paddy Power is offering bets on which Simpsons character will be outed as a homosexual in a forthcoming episode. Surely this will be Smithers, no? His price is 5-2. I bet on him. I put this here rather than in television because it is about gambling as much as telly. BOOM! -Mrnuked

I think Smithers is too obvious a choice. Maybe Carl and Lenny!

I'd say it might be Patty, Marge's sister. The other sister, Selma, has always been interested in men but Patty never showed any interest at all...

Has to be smithers, remember the guy who owned the pawn shop was out with marge, bart and lisa, and smithers saw him and said so this is where you've been or sumtin like that ZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

My personal opinion is either Mayor Quimby marries Fat Tony, or Otto marries Comic Book Guy (again).

Healio you bizarre little onion.... Mayor Quimby?? :S

I'd say perhaps Patty, Lenny or Karl too.... what are their odds? Smithers is too obvious, and so is Flanders, really (it would ruin his whole god-freak character, and he is known to have good taste in women... Maud Flanders was a fox..;))

Everybody already knows smithers is gay, it's not him. That would be nothing new.

edit: Milhouse is also gay- theres an episode where a doctor tells Marge and Homer that their son is flamboyantly (or something) gay. But he is looking at Milhouse's file, then realises the mistake.

My guesses again: Flanders (the religion thinng would make a whole episode) or Krusty. I doubt it's mayor quimby, he'll probably be the one allowing gay marriages, thats all he'll do in the episode IMHO.

It would have to be someone the viewers could sympatise with, so I'd say not mayor quimby.
What are the other odds?

Millhouse isn't an option.

I'm convinced it'll be Barney or Moe so I've put €10 on both of them.

In the episode with the be sharps.... Barney was the one with the japanese conceptual artist girlfriend so I'm not sure if he'd be gay..... I wouldn't rule out Bart....Lenny and Carl would be funny alright though...

Well remember how a "major" character was going to die - and oh, Boresville, it turns out to be Maude? I imagine the "major" gay character is someone we don't see that often (so we don't annoy the FOX PC brigade too much), someone who is only on screen now and then. Kent Brockman fits this image (we rarely see him outside of the newsroom) and it would make a good story with him trying to contrast with his slick newsman image and all the stereotypical things that the show will pit against him.
