>There are no gay boys

Well, apart from Beld Marmo, and Garon Dessler does make a pass at Devlin once, only Devlin's too drunk to notice. Oh, and there's all that subtext with Akio and Touga (who, if you take their wretched mistreatment of Nanami into account, meet your "male-male-female" criteria for some twisted value of "meet"), the latter of whom has, in the past, at least tried to score with both Miki and Saionji.

>no explanation why

Didn't come up. Simple as that.

Want it even balder? I can hook you up. It's real simple: I'm not into that, and I tend to mostly write about what I'm into. Oh, sure, there are other issues - the proportion is similarly off in much of the source material, for instance, which isn't surprising when you consider that "what I'm into" also governs my selection of same. But mainly it's just that I don't much care to write about the hot man-love.

Double standard? Probably. Woefully under-representational of a rich and vibrant section of our great tapestry of life? Certainly. But that's the way I roll sometimes.

Oh, now you're just reaching. They only went on a three-day honeymoon because they only had three days, and as for the rest, well, just because I'm not the go-to guy for lurid detail doesn't mean they're not gettin' it on. It's just that this is a mental TV show most of the time, and there's a lot of stuff that doesn't happen on screen, you know?
