People suggesting that any gay characters might be introduced to Bond in order to appease gay people or gay rights groups are exceedingly clueless. In reality, knowing the exploitative nature of the Bond franchise, if there were homosexual characters introduced they would most likely be:
1) a foppish, weak, deranged gay man - presented as a serial killer, or
2) a hot yet evil and utlimately doomed lesbian, presented for the sole purpose of validating the absurd heterosexual male fantasy re: lesbian women

The Bond series has had a least two gay characters.

It was a Sean Connery movie. IIRC, it was "Diamonds are Forever". One characters name was "Mr. Kidd", I forget the other. They were assasins.

Back on topic: Seems like a very bad idea to me.

Fixed.
Full frontal male nudity = X rating

Not correct.

MPAA ratings are highly subjective in these areas and context is often strongly considered.

Also "X" is no longer an MPAA rating since it has been replaced with "NC-17"

I stand by my statement that it's been a proud year for George Lazenby, who is no longer the worst Bond ever.

Actually, I believe they did show a bare boob... Beautiful girl and bond on the beach after a night spent together... Bond makes some comment about breakfast, shortly afterward, the female is run down by the bad guys.
