Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Ho Yay: Difference between revisions

* Check the way Buffy kisses Dawn in "The Gift".

** [[Word of God|Joss says]] on the season 5 DVD special features; "[Buffy's] love interest for the season was her sister."

'''Willow:''' I know you do. ''[Buffy strokes Dawn's hair]'' }}

** Joss makes it clear Dawn was introduced as an intense ''non-romantic'' interest for Buffy however.

* It's heavily implied that there was something, even if we're not sure exactly what, between [[Complete Monster|Warren]] and [[Ambiguously Gay|Andrew]] during season 6. Andrew was pretty obviously in love with him.

** Ehm...

* Honestly, ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fans are second only to ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' fans with their ability to see gay subtext between ''anyone''. But Joss isn't exactly Mr. Anti-Subtext.

** The show is considered a landmark in the portrayal of homosexuals on television, particularly lesbians. At least half the cases on this list were probably intentional. A decent part of it is [[Word of God|Joss]] basically saying that fans can bring their own subtext to the show. Several characters (Xander and Willow) were set up as possibly being gay in future seasons. Several other characters have been hinted as having or shown to have same sex encounters (Giles with Ethan Rayne, Angel and Spike, Buffy with Satsu, Buffy with Faith). That isn't even going into the canon Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual characters on the show such as Larry, Tara, Vampire Willow, and Kennedy, or the admitted subtext between Buffy and Dawn.

* Glory induced this way too much, to almost [[Depraved Bisexual]] levels. Particularly with Dawn: changing in front of the girl, playing with her hair, accusing her of "trying to get a peek at [my] unmentionables?" Just the start.

** Dawn/Glory goes both ways:

** Glory talks about having "girl time" with and says to her "Let's have big girl fun"

** She also talks about having "girl time" with Tara and licks her hand in a sensual way
