26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." (IN PROGRESS)
On the show she played a lesbian, with her partner always by her side fighting the evil whatever of the week.
Nothing closet about her. Her husband is a beard, plain and simple.
She’s divorced once or twice and has a kid from her first marriage. Ex-Kiwi. The only good funny episodes of Xena was when Ted Raimi’s Boxter’ character (Spiderman 1-3 director Sam Raimi’s real life brother) is in it.
Oh baby!
She may have won me over...
Or a savvy businesswoman looking out for a significant portion of her viewing audience.
I have to admit that Xena was a terrific role model for girls in general. Her role was actually more violent that the Hercules series and she would often kill her enemies, as well as doing hard physical stunts.
While girls usually don’t want to be so aggressive and violent, the role opened up another dimension of possibility for girls, something they never dreamed was possible.
And Xena wasn’t unique. There was a wide range of female characters in the series, and several as belligerent and physical as Xena. They tried to avoid any implication of lesbianism between her and her sidekick for a long time, before realizing that they had a lesbian fan base as well. So they threw in a few scenes to imply that they were more than buddies.
The light also dawned in Hollywood that not all female oriented shows had to be like Lifetime channel originals. Xena opened the door to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which really went for the gold.
Hercules and Xena also convinced Hollywood that New Zealand was a superb shooting location.
Ask Lucy about the time Bill Clinton came on to her right after she had her baby. She took the child (in tow) to his suite, where he emerged from the loo in nothing but a bath robe.....where he seated himself at the table and proceeded to erotically, suckle fruit in front of her. Guess she’s not gonna answer that one, huh?
Yeah. I have ‘friends’ in various ‘places’.
The Pink Nazis are fighting to have their sui-homi-cidal conduct endorsed, subsidized, and catered to by society via the force of government.
That’s what all this is about, and why it must be fought indefatigably.
