Today is International Geek Pride Day
This combination of Geekery and "Pride" brings me conveniently to the fact that last night's episode of Glee was directed by Joss Whedon. The world has officially turned upside down.

What other geeky/gayness crossovers would you like to see? John Barrowman playing history's first ever gay Klingon in the new Star Trek movie, perhaps?
(, Tue 25 May 2010, 10:22, 128 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
John Barrowman being a major character in Dr Who/Torchwood not geeky enough for you?

Desperate Housewives isn't that gay
I think it's considered an acceptable show to be forced to watch by women. Wiggy quite enjoys it.
(, Tue 25 May 2010, 10:37, Reply)
I've been forced to watch it as well
it's fairly inoffensive. Not as good as Grey's Anatomy

Agreed on both counts
but you're not helping yourself with the aforementioned gay brush

Wiggy loves Grey's Anatomy
He fancies Meredith and Issy. And now Lexie.

EDIT: I would fancy Cally because she's easily the hottest.

How inventive
Absolutely no-one has made that particular pun to date

Meredith has a weird face
and Izzy, while hot, pisses me off.

Cally is much more my type. and Calliope is a good name.

what the doubters don't seem to understand
is that these gay/woman shows have hot women in them. Storylines can easily be ignored.

No hotties in Glee. You must actually like it and everything

Was she a typical Welsh bloke?

(, Tue 25 May 2010, 11:17, Reply)
very much not
by not a typical welsh girl I mean that she was fluent in welsh, but didn't really speak english with a welsh accent.

she definitely did not say "faboolas" when she meant fabulous, not that she said fabulous, and she never said things like "who's cup is this mug?" or "who's coat is this jacket?"

she didn't try and dress like a wag either

That's not what I associate with Welsh girls anyway

True

Granted
But in the show she's always dressed up like a deeply annoying preppy girl. Quin's pretty but insufficient reason to watch the show. I think it's the show tunes that have got you hooked, Vippers

I saw her in an episode of CSI as a sheriff or something
she was different in that

that's what Wiggy says about Desperate Housewives
it has Eva Longoria plus the hot niece in it. He also likes Julie, although I think she munts.

He quite likes the bloke characters though, I think he empathises with them having to put up with their crazy wives.

How is Geek Pride defined?

My usage of 'the Gays' is meant as a joke, as someone's sexuality doesn't bother me in the slightest
But I've known some incredibly camp guys who just get on my nerves. Also I knew a lesbian who played up to the butch dyke stereotype, and she was just as bad. She used her sex and sexuality to practically molest some female colleagues because "I'm a girl, they don't mind!".

Thankfully I've known more gay lads/lasses that aren't ridiculously camp and don't thrust their sexuality on you in every conversation. I also don't like straight guys who always harp on about girls they've banged.
