"Stargate Universe" will feature two gay characters ... but which two?


The cast of Stargate Universe 

Well here's some good news from the outer limits of gay representation...

Apparently the long-running Stargate franchise will finally be getting back to its gay-friendly roots (remember, these series were all based on a feature film starring the guy from The Crying Game as an androgynous god). But rather than bring back Ra, the new Stargate Universe series will feature a gay character. 

And maybe not one, but two! Executive producers told a recent conference that there would be at least one (and then clarified that there would be two) gay character on the new show, saying that they wanted the Stargate Universe universe to reflect modern society and be accessible to as many viewers as possible. Well I've always argued that gays are better in pairs, so this is good news.

David Blue as Cliff on Ugly Betty

We'll let you know more details when we have them, but in the meantime, are there any guesses as to who the gay(s) might be, strictly from the first official cast photo above (and we should keep in mind that the character or characters could potentially be female and might not be in the central cast)? Considering that we're still smarting from his unceremonious exit from Ugly Betty, we're hoping for David Blue but not putting any money on it.

Guess away in the comments, and thanks to Aled for the tip! I'll also include the first official trailer for the show below. [Editor's update: A publicist for the show says the show will only have one GLBT character and declined to confirm the character's gender.]
