Was Colin the first one that answered? Did he say, "I should never ask the question from the bored person!"

...going to ask "Are they gay?" some writers might start thinking (especially if they get many similar questions) "Wait. Did I make them appear too gay? That wasn't my intention" and maybe try to write them "less gay" (in their minds), which I don't think any of us wants.
