I think it'd be nice although it'd never happen if WWE put a positive spin on a gay character instead of them being portrayed as villains

it's abit humorous that a group like GLAAD actually sent them a gift for the wedding

to me though that whole Billy and Chuck angle was a ripoff of Lenny and Lodi
They were treating them as portrayed characters. Don't pretend they thought it was real. They just thought this would lead somewhere positive.

...Which pretty much everyone and their mother should have looked at, and said..."Wait, what?"

there, it's all spelled out for you now.
And yet, you still couldn't follow a simple question. Nice retcon, but no cigar.

It's not quite the same, but Vito managed to make the crossdressing gimmick work for him. And he had some nice responses. I don't know (and I doubt) if that was the intent, but still. He didn't suddenly become a mincing little girl, he was a guy who would kick your ass.

In a dress.

Billy and Chuck, likewise, got great responses right up to the wedding and the "swerve."

Of course, a serious intent on a conscious level, beyond say, lower midcard? Probably not.

But then, when you're watching something this homophobic, it should be no surprise. And that has nothing to do with Cena. Wrestling is so homoerotic it can only be aimed at insecure males.

i don't even understand this, nor do i care to continue arguing with someone looking for a forum post retard-a-thon over the internet. if you actually have questions for me, pm them. and please make sense.

this isn't the issue. it's portraying homosexuality as a weakness and something to be embarrassed about that is just so overdone.
