Really, though...

That Colin guy from Merlin is one of the fugliest people on the telly at the mo. That's not a subjective opinion on my part, that's like scientific fact or something. He's one of the two reasons I don't watch Merlin, the other one being that it's about fucking wizards. See also: more fucking wizards (Harry Potter), fucking trolls (Lord of the Rings) and fucking blue fairy people (Avatar). Do not be telling me I should be watching any of this shit, I cannot take it seriously.

I voted Neil Patrick Harris in the Big Gay Battle on After Elton. John Barrowman is just too gay to be allowed to win these sorts of things. I'm joking, of course (not about voting, I did vote NPH), there's no such thing as TOO GAY, but if there were, I'm pretty sure JB would qualify. But no, I purposefully voted against JB. For reasons I explained like a year and a half ago, I don't think he's the greatest candidate for big gay role model. Neither is NPH, probably (Man, he only came out like 3 years ago, dudes, really? Weird, I thought it was longer ago.), but there you go.

Thing is, it's a comment Rhys or his friends would make, you could totally imagine Banana Boat saying it. The "taking it up the arse" bit is meaningless, it's just a way of saying I hear you are gay. Ianto didn't care about it, he raised his brows because Rhiannon promised she hadn't told anyone, also you got the feeling he had that long suffering thing with his brother in law. I can see that they censored it in the US because people would take it literally, whereas here they mostly wouldn't, unless very niave. It's just taking the piss. As you say, family and close friends can get away with those things. If an aquaintance or stranger said it, then that would be different and yes, quite possibly offensive.

The Clem bit and the Andy bit were inexcusable I thought, and it did start to feel like they were really wanting to have Ianto as the "queer" character, and they did really leave Jack out of that as well, it was all very odd and one of the many things I dislike about CoE

Yes, I would really like to know why they felt the need to go this way with Ianto's character (and then proceed to do it poorly IMO). Like he had nothing else to contribute? And why Jack was immune even though it takes two to tango... (I guess Clem was too busy being scared of "the man" to notice the eau de Ianto on him...or maybe the cement bath helped A LOT. Ugh.)

Because Ianto's the girl in the relationship (note he has the same role as Rose in Doctor/Rose) and only girls get slut-shamed!!!
