Dear gentlefolk: well, usually I don't have much to say on UFO issues in this forum but this crap about Ed Bishop and Mike Billington either being gay in real life or in the series is a unbelievably unrealistic. First of all, the issue of gayness was not one even broached in TV shows in the 1960's. Due to censorship, it just wouldn't have been approached let alone suggested. Also, it is none of OUR business if either actor WAS gay in real life or not. Being gay does not make anyone LESS of a person. However, that being said, I have not come across anything that postulated either actor or character was gay, and I did ask Mike in our e-mailed correspondence about such things (due to the dumb and poorly written slash stories which were posted on the SHADO Library at the time), and he stated to me that the only reason he didn't sue the writers or make trouble for them was because they were NOT worth it to his peace of mind! I'd also like to remind people that both Ed and Mike were parents and one should consider their families before rattling off with such unsubstantiated excrement.

Disgustedly, Pam the Canuck
