Would someone please tell these heathens that boys kissing is hot?

Yes, I wrote an article about how a queer James Bond is an awesome idea (yay, Daniel Craig) and people are being dolts.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. I think it is EXTREMELY unlikely that a man with as much of a sex-drive as James Bond would turn down male *ahem* companionship, either as a means to an end (as with many of the women) or simply for pleasure. And, incidentally, I think guy on guy is hot, so pbbt to those people. I know women who aren't, but I have to tell you, the best kiss I've ever seen in person was a very simple, sweet kiss between two male exes who still loved each other very much (they just had too many barriers to deal with at that time). It was the sweetest, most beautiful, and in many ways sexiest kiss I have ever witnessed.

Incidentally, I think it's fabulous that Daniel Craig himself is advocating this. Most leading men shy away from playing gay or even bisexual characters for fear of losing leading man parts (because somehow that would make them seem less leading man like?). Harry Hamlin talks about that whole idea, I believe in Celluloid Closet.

On a related note, have you ever seen Tipping the Velvet? One of the lesbian characters in that is the woman playing Anne in the new Persuasion. See? WOMEN are allowed to play both...why can't men? Well, I mean, I know why, but that just confirms my belief that people are intolerant double-standard-holding morons.
