This idea did come around in some form though as RTD's children's show Wizards VS Aliens now has a main gay character. I think it's wonderful.

Ah, I never knew that. I was only like 7 when it was on, was there signs/teasers he was Gay?

If I remember right he talked about a 'friend' who would have eventually been revealed to be his bf.

Ok, I never knew that, I guess at 7/8 I was just hooked on the actual adventures (monster and aliens etc).

But now watching kids shows I can see stuff like that and understand what it means.

I loved SJA.
