Sam/Brady has a throwaway line to its credit.
Obviously, I think Dean/Castiel could be all sorts of interesting, but I'm 97% sure both the boys will never explore that side of the Kinsey scale in anything other than a flippant comment. Dean can talk to Cas sexually aggressively, but nothing will come of it, ever. I just don't think they'd go there.
No matter where they went, they'd make people mad. There would be more people spitting mad that it's not their ship than who are pleased that it's one they like, or just glad that they took a daring step.
Add to that that pretty much every attempt at romantic entanglements on the show has either ended disastrously for the characters in-story (just about everyone Sam's been paired with) or generated a lot of disgruntlement among fans (Dean and Jo) or both (Dean and Lisa), I'm doubtful that a gay twist on one would work out any better. Probably best to leave it in the realm of innuendo.
And, please, layer on the innuendo. I love seeing people argue about the value of the fanservice. "Erotic codependence is canon!" "Ash lied when he said they were soulmates!" "It's not a profound bond, it's a more profound bond!"
The hysterics amuse me. Enough that I'd hate to see any "side" get validation.
I think if the show had started with a canon gay character, it would have worked fine. Now it would probably cause nothing but what ita described.
If they introduced a new gay character, I don't see a problem, but involving Sam and Dean would be sure to involve huge, ugly kerfuffles. Sadly.
My most wished for pairings for Sam are Sam/Paul and Sam/Brady
I think my brain has completely stopped functioning, because I'm sitting here (figuratively) banging myself on the side of the head and I cannot come up with a Paul. Who is Paul?
From 99 Problems. The guy who ran the bar, and questioned the girl prophet's visions.

Yes. This.
While it can be fun to debate things that are open to interpretation (e.g. Crowley was telling the truth about Sam/Brady vs. he was saying something that he thought would get a reaction), I am amused/alarmed/fascinated when arguments rise to the kind of intensity you would typically associate with some of the more extreme theological institutions.

Ooh. Yes. I liked him.

Thank you! I was sure I had come down with some sort of short-term memory loss.

About so many things, too. People need to CHILL.
I still want Dean/Patrick. Just a one-shot. Mrph.

Oh, I have every confidence that there would be people squawking objections no matter how minor the secondary character was. I saw people vehemently objecting to the idea that Crowley might be gay (inasmuch as such things apply to demons), and he was gleefully making out with guys all over and more in-your-face with gay innuendo than any network TV character I can recall since Jack McFarland.
