Director JJ Abrams has announced that there will be gay characters in future Star Wars films.
““When I talk about inclusivity it’s not excluding gay characters. It’s about inclusivity. So of course there will be gay characters.”
“I would love it. To me, the fun of Star Wars is the glory of possibility. So it seems insanely narrow-minded and counterintuitive to say that there wouldn’t be a homosexual character in that world.””
My first thought:
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of bigoted, small minded, homophobic voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
I love it when the news can ruin a bigot’s day.

The one problem that I see is if they are putting in a gay character just to have a gay character. Consider the disaster of putting in Jar Jar Binks just as an attempt at comedy.
Doctor Who used to do it all the time, and it was always amazing.
