That list of gay bond titles is awesome.

I wonder how responses would differ if there was a suggestion to introduce a beautiful lesbian (i.e., female) spy, with maybe some hot lesbian (i.e., girl on girl) scenes, to the next Bond movie? 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

I can't really picture the character being gay. He's a womanizer.

I think the actor probably just wants to make sure ond moves with the times, stays relevant to today's younger generations. This has nothing to do with appeasing gay people. Anyway, there have always been homosexuals in the spy game, think of all the famous homosexual spy shenanigans from Britain and Russia during the 60s and 70s. Besides, so long as Bond pitches, he's still a real man right?
Stop trying to justify your own homosexuality.
It's no more or less relevant than it ever was. Making the new Bond a homosexual is not trendy, it's disgracing a character that others have built.
And no, seeing James Bond ramming some other guy's behind, Brokeback Mountain style, is not the type of thing that people want to see.

Are you serious? There are large numbers of people who think homosexuality is evil/bad by nature...Originally posted by: halikYou can make many stereotypes on homosexulity, but it could hardly be characterized as evil/bad by nature.

1) Doubt it, a gay man wouldn't really come off as an evil villain. You can make many stereotypes on homosexulity, but portray it as evil/despicable just simply wouldn't work.
2) Doubt that as well, if a lesbian theme would occur, it would be one of Bonds inevitable flings. I hope it includes full frontal nudity.
