Nurobert : gay or bi
I've seen this debated in several threads with people now seem to think he is completely gay.
I know labels don't matter but if they ever split robron or Danny Miller were to leave and they need to pair Robert with a new romantic partner it would have a lot more relevance as to who they would pair him with. IMHO opinion he is gay, I don't think what happened within the previous stint as that was pretty much a diffrent charcther. |

It matters because I'm running a book on who he'll inevitably cheat on Aaron with and it's very hard to work out decent odds when ED blithely change his sexuality to suit each sl.

I use the term nurobert so people don't base it on the last one who was pretty much a different character

Both straight and gay communities deny the existence of bisexuality. It is called bisexual erasure and indeed is prevalent in society and the entertainment industry. As a result I believe most bisexual people do not come out and stick to one orientation. It's time bisexual erasure was destroyed - Robert is most likely bisexual if you're going to use a label. Unfortunately society is not at all ready for sexuality to be fluid, maybe in the next 10-20 years. Quote:
This is why I feel it's a relevant question, Danny Miller himself stated Aaron needs Robert to confirm he's gay so that he's reassured he won't run off with a woman

If you read the text I mention this, I belivie it has relevance because if they split him and Aaron it would affect the direction of any future storylines and the show haven't really been clear. But I appreciate the implication that I'm somehow being a bigot thanks.
if you think thats the implication then fine, that is your conscience talking not mine. I never said any such thing, I gave my opinion |

"It might have something to do with a lack of bisexual representation in the media. Many tv shows and movies feature characters who experience attraction to two genders - Clarke Griffin on The CW's The 100, and Angela Montenegro on Fox's Bones are two examples. Yet neither show ever mentions bisexuality as applied to either character. They have no problem displaying bisexuality in the form of attraction, but not as a legitimate sexual identity.
This is mirrored in LGBT communities everywhere. Bisexual people are often excluded from LGBT organizations and events if they are in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Even if they're in a same-sex relationship, or in no relationship at all, they can be excluded on the basis of "straight-passing" - the ability to appear straight because they can be in an opposite-sex relationship. Not to mention the stigma around bisexuality. Many people, both queer and not, believe that bisexuality isn't real, and that people who claim to be bisexual are really just confused, indecisive, or attention-seeking. It's also true that many bisexual people have been dumped or rejected because of their sexuality, because their partner thinks that their attraction to two genders makes them more likely to cheat. All of this is, of course, nothing more than unfair stereotype. And like most stereotypes, they're responsible for the pain of many people." Source: There is no B in LGBT |

yes but then you put up a poll asking people to choose what he is?
if you think thats the implication then fine, that is your conscience talking not mine. I never said any such thing, I gave my opinion Most gay people are comfortable to identify themselves as gay. Many bisexual men comfortably identify themselves as bisexual same with heterosexuals. The reason I have a poll is the show themselves have half the charcthers referring to him as gay and other calling him bisexual. I have a poll because as stated I belivie his orientation has relevance to potential future storylines and would be interested which way they take him. My conscience is perfectly fine as I'm not saying he should be defined or judged by his sexuality , but once again as a soap charcther it is relevant to future storylines and on a forum future storylines is one of the things people speculate about. |

Indeed - basically no resemblance whatsoever to OldRobert in any respect, least of all sexual orientation.

you use the term label as if clarifying someone's sexual orientation is somehow offensive.

![]() That will continue to be the case as long as he's with Aaron. It doesn't matter how he idenitifies. Anyone who thinks Aaron is worthy of his time can only be identified as an idiot. |

I voted bisexual, but I've always believed soap characters don't have a sexuality. They simply get with whoever fits the storyline, wether that be a man, woman or a robot.

A better SL would be Aaron coming to terms with bisexuality existing and not meaning Robert is any more likely to get with another woman as Aaron is to get with another man.

The reason I wanted to do the poll is because I would of thought he was gay, but it seems the majority of posters don't so if he does inevitably cheat I would have assumed Finn would be his only option.
But it seems other people could see him with another woman |
