Why is Kyle Portrayed as Gay so Often???

Post by Sologirl102 »

I'm wondering, does he just give off this vibe or something that says "I'm just waiting for slash fanfiction stardom?" I mean, I've read quite a few stories with him gay, and i enjoyed them, but i think it's astounding how often he seems to be. Did falling for two girls both in love with Max Evans just irreparibly damage his self-confidence so much with XX chromosomes that he turned man-hunting? When I think about it, sure he seemed strange at times around the male aliens, but was that intentional on the writers' parts. Were they just waiting for the nonexistant fourth season to drag Kyle out of the closet?

There were times that Kyle just seemed gay. I think they played it up to be like that, especially when he was hanging around Isabel. I think the writers tried to turn it around by making him have a crush on her. Kyle could have been gay though, but it would have been rather stereotypical of him. I think the problem is he's portrayed as gay in many fics so there's no way of knowing! But yeah it's just too easy to see Kyle as gay :lol:
"Would it be okay if I ride home with you after school?"
"Sure you can ride me home... I mean ride you home..." he trailed off feeling deeply embarrassed
"I'd like that" she said feeling unlike herself, he grinned and they began working although not really paying attention. - Max & Liz in Where I Follow.

I never thought Kyle seemed or acted gay at all, so reading him as gay in fanfiction was strange to me. But, often times very humorous.

I had just assumed that the writer's didn't want Kyle with Tess, and couldn't see him with anyone, so, boom, he's gay. *shrug*

Interesting though. Even though it's tough for me to see him as gay in fanfiction or on the show, it is kind of funny.

I guess it all just depends on the eye of the beholder so to speak.. I have never thought of Kyle being gay and although I have to admit that if Kyle were gay in a fic I proably wouldnt read it.. I just cant see it...

Have you ever read "The Screaming Alien"? (I think it's by Sue). Kyle is gay and he is *hysterical*! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still kind of tough for me to see him as gay, but the way he's portrayed in that fic, you can totally see glimpses of the real *straight* Kyle. -hehe- It's great!

:?: :roll:

To be honest, the only time I thought of Kyle possibly being gay

was in The Blind Date Eppie. Remember that max and kyle were

so mad at each other for so long because of liz. Maybe the idea of

them getting together and actually getting along made their

interaction in that particular eppie seem very out of the ordinary or just

plain wrong To ME.

i don't know. Sometimes during the show i'd be like, when is he coming out of the closet, than he'd do something that made me go, nevermind, he's totally straight! He's straddling the fence i think.

I know the one slash fic I wrote with him in it was based off the spoilers (fake, btw, but mentioned as a possiblity by Bill Sadler) that Kyle was going to be questioning his sexuality because he was having strange dreams about Max after being healed.

I can't speak for everyone else, but that's why I went that way.
