I'm having a very fun time reading the Hoyay thread on the Angel forums at Television Without Pity. Hoyay is short for Homoeroticism Yay! The examples of gay subtext the forum posters come up with are hilarious. The Hoyay thread on the Buffy forums are just as funny.
Made me think about Connor and how he's never part of these gay couplings. I think it's because he's the Woobie. As defined by TVTropes.org: "A woobie (named for a child's security blanket) is that character you want to give a big hug, wrap in a blanket and feed soup to when he or she suffers so very beautifully."
And poor Connor has suffered so very beautifully. By the way, if you go over to TVTropes.org, be prepared to lose hours while surfing.
