This I did not know. It makes me very happy, though.
"Some gay porn? Less gay." -- is a Minear quote.
Go team them.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
On Angel it had the full, intentional support of all concerned from the top down. So to speak.
I'm not sure it had DB's full support, though I do think he played along well enough. I've read severel pieces in which he says "ANGEL IS NOT GAY."

Was this before the last season? I mean, the subtext was almost domtext for much of the run, but Angel was intimate with Spike...
Oh. Right. Bisexual. Of course. Not gay -- bisexual.

But they had Spike/JM say it, not DB/Angel. At about the same time DB/Angel was pretending that Angel saying " I want you Lindsey" needed to be rephrased.

Support it or not, it kinda makes it explicit (okay, not enough for many purposes). DB can not want to say it as much as he wants. It doesn't make his character het.

Oh, I'm not saying the character was. Matt's original statement was that

I agree with everyone except maybe DB. Although he played along, he never seemed fully comfortable or supportive of it.

I was just commenting on the Angel is not gay denial -- comfortable or supportive or no -- Angel was intimate with Spike and it would have been weird for the actor to be denying it after those lines were delivered.

Oh. I think some of them were later, but I could be wrong.

Angel may just object to the wording. Perhaps he prefers to be fey or something more from the Romantic era.
