No that was the monitor for the actors :)

Its only hard for a straight man to talk about "Gayness" if they arent comfortable with themselves :/ Which dosn't seem the case with him.

And thats not true. Most people do not view two men hugging as Gay. Its affection. Straight or not you can have a non sexual affection for someone you are close to.

I think society needs to get over themselves and make it so EVERYONE feels comfortable being close to someone.

And he seems confident and comfortable with himself, soI woulsn't worry about him xD

[pickpock]

I suspect that it's also easier for him due to the fact that no one's saying that *he* is gay, just that they've got some ideas about a character he's playing ;)

lol, my guess is that the Jack/Daniel pairing would be around even with different actors.

We're just lucky we got the ones we have.

Michael is a lovely man, both on the outside and inside ^^

I seriously can't picture Michael Shanks with Thor's voice. 0_o Is there ANY video here on youtube with him talking as Thor? I need proof!

@tetrisclock lmao true to a degree

[tetrisclock]

Would a straight man be "comfortable with his sexuality" if he could stare at another guy's dick without getting somewhat repulsed?

Would a straight man be more straight if he could grab a guy's dick without getting repulsed?

That whole, "I'm not gay because I can joke about homosexuality and be calm around naked men" argument is flawed as it can get.

By that logic, a straight guy can screw another guy in the ass and say, "I'm comfortable doing that because I'm not gay."

[tetrisclock]

I've heard the "not comfortable with their sexuality" argument too many times for my liking, so I invented a nice rebuttal:

If straight men who cannot discuss homosexuality aren't comfortable with their own sexuality, would a straight man who acted as gay and open as possible be more straight?

NO

I went to high school with a bunch of guys who did borderline-gay stunts and pranks and then accused the other guys who were repulsed by it as being, *ahem* "uncomfortable with their sexuality"

@bloodyavenger Thank you for writing it down=) I would have been sitting here all night trying to decifer him. I hate the sound quality on convension videos, but they're too good not to watch=^_^=

[CampysPornShack]

Awesome, funny, and thanks to the convention-goer who shot the footage. Now I'm off to read some Stargate orgy fanfic!

[Amber474]

Yeah, seriously, "WHAT UP with you people?!" I still don't get slash, at least not for the SG-1 dynamic... Star Trek, fine, 'cause I really don't give a crap :P
