What fan base? Maybe a few children liked the show, but most of the adult viewers probably had some sexual angle in mind.
It's not like Hollywood took over some old story or comic book. Xena and Gabrielle were created for television.

Well, of course, she is. You’re just not cool unless you’re gay.
Ack, seems I’m never going to be in the IN group.
I'm so disappointed in this news. I was sure that a high-testosterone shemale such as Xena was "in transition." Xena? A Cis-sy? Zhe it aint Zho!
Jabba the Hutt meets Mad Max! Auuugh!
Why the need to inject homosexuality into the story??
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?
The New America. All gay, all the time.

Nah, for Highlander they only switch nationalities. Get a Russian dude to play the Scotsman this time and we’ll have the Scotman play an aborigine or something :)
I dunno, I figure Xena’s fan base mostly already thought (or hoped) that she was a lesbian, so I don’t think it will hurt them much. She was pretty much “lesbian Hercules”, there wasn’t any other reason for the show...
“will the fan base still watch when they turn them into two hard core Hillary style lesbos?”
That is the fan base.
That’s why they are making it explicit.
Mmmm. Hudson Leick.
Because it's so important that 1% of our population that is mentally ill should be portrayed as "Heroic."
I have feeling perhaps original Xena was bi sexual she did have relationship with Hercules in first season of Hercules
There is slash fan fiction featuring Xena and little friend Gabrielle
So, can Gabrielle save Holland when she sticks her finger in the Dyke?
Nah, Donald has Daisy Duck, so he’s straight.
It’s Goofy and Pluto that have something unseemly going on I suspect...
Speaking of Highlander they going remake that soon somebody bought the contract up they option for one of the studios
Why does every show these days have to be about "relationships"? Only girls and gays want to see that.
My wife cannot understand my love for that movie.
It’s a shame they can’t show two women who are unrelated but close like sisters without it being gay. I’ve heard young people talking about war movies where a man risks his life for a friend as being gay. They have to take every relationship and twist it to fit their agenda.
I never watched Xena. I thought O’Connor was super cute, and Lawless has yet to lose her hotness no matter her age. But, she seems to always play a bisexual/lesbian. She was bi in Spartacus, and probably full lesbian in Ash vs. Evil Dead.
