Fans of hit cartoon The Simpsons are poised for big news - one of the show's long-time characters is set to reveal he's gay. At the moment, many fans are betting the character in question will be Waylon Smithers - who works for evil nuclear tycoon Mr. Burns - but the show's producers are refusing to confirm or deny who it is. Producer Al Jean says, "We have a show where, to raise money, Springfield legalizes gay marriage. Homer becomes a minister by going on the internet and filling out a form. A longtime character comes out of the closet, but I'm not saying who." Show creator Matt Groening jokes, "It's Homer!"
Can't say I am too shocked. But I don't think it will be Smithers. Right now I am leading toward Patty, Selma, or Martin Prince. And maybe Mr. Burns. Maybe Burns will go gay and run to Smithers and finally say "I love you" only to have Smithers look shocked and go "What? But I am not gay!" Just to add some shock to it. | Promote this thread! |             | OlFuzzyBastard

I'm not saying that the show doesn't tend towards the "30 minutes of weirdness/stupidity and everything is back to normal" usually, I'm just saying that for them to make a major change isn't unprecedented. They've kept Maude Flanders dead, and if they are making a big deal about a character coming out of the closet, then I would think this is something that will stick, unlike the quirkier things they tend to ignore. | geemoney

Oh yeah, there is a precedent....I'm just saying, I won't be surprised if it doesn't last.
BWT- Maggie Roswell leaving the show was the reason Maude was killed off. In fact, she left earlier, and they had another lady do Maude's voice for a season or two before they killed her off, I believe. |
