At least we can expect more HoYay from Heroes

The hopes of seeing a gay character on Heroes may be looking discouraging but a look at the series' panel at Comic Con International, this weekend says we can, at least, expect to see more hoyay.

Among the panel's highlights, were a moment where Sendhil Ramamurthy fakes a kiss with Greg Grunberg after Grunberg remarks on the AfterElton Hot 100 pick's beauty. At the panel, producer Jeph Loeb also told the audience, "You guys have gone on YouTube and... you take Peter, put him together with Nathan and then you play love music. We don't know why, but we've seen it."

A few months ago the Heroes webcomic (which is getting published as a graphic novel) had a panel that looked a lot more like Peter was kissing Mohinder, with the panel's vagueness accomplished with an affectionate hand coincidentally covering up a telltale adam's apple. Considering how aware Heroes is of the part of their fanbase that enjoys the hoyay aspects, I don't think that panel was coincidental anymore.

Now, if only we could get an actual gay hero...
