This seems to continue the Star Trek legacy of not addressing the issue of gays and gay rights head on. Not everyone is heterosexual, and the BSG universe should reflect that. DS9's rival B5 did have some gay story lines (including a cover story for two male characters in one episode).<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think it is an important issue to bring up.
