Same-sex relationships

Hi, guys and girls. I’m new here, so be please go easy on me. LOL. I don’t know if a topic like this has been posted before, or whether there’s been any sort of discussion about this, but, as a gay [i]Alien[/i] fan (a rare breed?), I’d like to know how you’d feel about same-sex relationships (romantic or strictly sexual) in [i]Prometheus[/i] or any future [i]Alien[/i]-related movie. The reason why I ask this is because I was listening to the [i]Alien[/i] audio commentary ([i]Alien Quadrilogy[/i] edition) the other day, and about the 1:15:36 mark Ridley Scott begins to (surprisingly enough) talk about casual relationships of both a hetero- and homosexual nature in space. I include here my transcription of this particular bit of the audio commentary. Ridley Scott: “I thought, Why not? Relationships would be discouraged. You know, the idea of casual sex would be normal – for obvious reasons. ’Cause if you’ve got seven on board, someone’s gonna get left out. Right? And so, casual relationships – whether it’s male or female, male with male, female with female – seems to be okay in space when you’re locked away in a big tin can for years on end. Could be years, plus hypersleep. So it might feel like a year. You might be away ten years. So I tried to instigate that, and there was a suggestion of that with Dallas and with Veronica. An idea of, ‘Should we infer something here? Should we have an inference of, you know, a lesbian, a gay relationship or not?’ It would have been kind of interesting. Today I’d probably do that, just to thicken up the layers in the characters.” Now, I’m not saying that Ridley will go as far as to do something like this with such a massively expensive, high-profile film project as [i]Prometheus[/i] (or, rather, that the film studio would permit such a thing), but again, as a gay fan, I’d dearly like to see some variation in a genre that consists of mainly heterosexual relationships. I mean, not everyone is heterosexual, right? So, would you be alienated (excuse the pun) by even the “inference” of a same-sex casual or romantic relationship in a film like [i]Prometheus[/i]?
