****************

And no one has picked up on the homophobia of the person who objected 
to Curaon's comment? When he said that Lupin was everyone's favorite 
gay uncle...when the poster said s/he objected to "letting the real 
world in", equating drugs and sloppiness and disrespect with being 
gay?

Being gay does not mean the kids were engaging in constant sex, 
anymore than the assumption of heterosexuality of all the characters 
means that the kids are engaging in heterosexual sex.
