| I don't think Bobby should be not a threat sexually, just not trying to be one... despite the lyrics from the couples "who's always a flirt, but never a threat" (flirting is only flirting if there's a theoretical sexual compatibility anyway, so that should be there), which I don't think is meant to confirm that he *could* never, just that it is not what these friendships are. Also, Someone Is Waiting has to be able friends that are potential partners for Bobby whether a straight male with women, or gay male with men (or straight woman with men)... not to mention that in the original, at least one of the coupled friends, Amy, is someone Bobby had something with in the past, no? My pitch is it be gay male Bobby and all gay male couples... maybe a bi couple or poly... and we not worry about the "threat" of him being an attractive man around other gay men, welcome to gay life. Gay men with gay male friends (very very common, be they coupled or not) always have the potential of sexual attraction to each other *and* the potential to act on it. Friendships are not barred because that could happen. It should be a present factor though especially in friendship with Joanne (whatever the gay male version would be... Jonah?), where a sexual chemistry they've never acted on, even an unlikely one, is part of what makes the interested in being friends, part of the dynamic... hence the line "when are we gonna make it?" A very believable and common thing in gay male friendships. And propositioning a friend when drunk if you're gay often doesnt' even come with adultery strings, because so many gay couples are open or willing to accept sex as not the biblical dealbreaker straight marriages tend to (or pretend to) see it as. |
