In the link above at a con in London a fan asks Rekha Sharma if Baltar (James Callis) was a good kisser and if he used tongue.

Seriously. The fan asked that question. Can you imagine the SPN boys being asked that? But . . . I wonder if they would have reacted the same way if that was asked about a woman on the show they'd kissed or had some UST with? It's an invasive question but I wonder if they would have been as uncomfortable. Probably.

But this fan's intended question was not even that invasive. She was really curious. I think the audience thought it was going to a place that . . . it actually maybe wasn't going. We'll never know for sure since she didn't finish.

Sometimes there is homosexual subtext on a show. Sometimes there is incestuous subtext. (The Borgias I'm looking right at you.) I think it's fair for fans to ask about it politely, but I think it is going to be uncomfortable. Fans, con runners, actors, just need to deal with it.
