Well then let me make myself perfectly clear now before confusion spreads, I'm about as far from anti-gay as can be without actually being gay myself. My comments were not towards the use of a gay character alone, but the use in a film designed to cynically sell toys where a bull is jacked off in the opening scenes.

But I too don't like it when studios use sexuality as a gimmick to get people into the seats. That said I don't think that's what they're trying to do. I do think that these kinds of announcements are made to get more people hyped for the movie, but the intention of having a gay character wasn't for that reason, but for actual character development.

I agree, again given that this is just now being "revealed" now that the movie's actually being seen and nearly released to theatres anyhow. But that's my opinion, and I'm just saying I can see how others may be distrustful of this film's motives.
