To steer away from French politics a little...
What makes "Buffy" a gay icon? Interesting article, and it doesn't just mention Willow, thank goodness. There are a few stereotypes and sentences in there that make me cringe a little bit, though.
And one of the (many) reasons why I love Joss : "Spike and Angel, they were hanging out for years and years and years.… Are people thinking they never -? Come on, people! They're open-minded guys!"
...why has nobody put up the second issue of the Buffy comic, btw?
