THE GAY-RO-METER

[#40 :]

Definately Leela. My sister is gay and she sometimes is sooo like Leela its not funny. Well it is actually. But she's very nosey and opinionated.

Leela would slide so well into that scene. (before i got old i went to alot of gay clubs. Gay DJ's are really good. Put straight ones to shame. I like Dnb and breaks.)

She's got the look down too. Big boots, black pants and a singlet. She's definately the one.

Hmmmm, maybe Zoidberg too, like when he sucked the Professor's head.... that gives the creeps, its soooo wrong!

Possibly, but the writers go the extra mile to make sure that it's well known that Leela prefers men, is looking for a stable relationship and can dress very lady-like and feminine when not at work.

Interesting.  Is she purposely immitating Leela or is this a by-chance thing?

It's a toss-up (literally and figuratively) between Edna's tentacles around Fry's face and that scene with Zoidberg and Farnsworth of which is more nauseating.

Both are very creepy.

Zoidberg said he and Hermes were gonna have a little "Just friends" spooning, I assume Zoidberg wanted it to be more than just friends, or he wouldn't have emphathized it so hard

Zoidberg can be excused for sucking on Farnsy, due to the fish pheromone making him do so. Edna and Fry... that was the scariest thing I'd ever seen once, but looking at it now, it makes me smile. Yes, I think to myself, that's fucking disgusting, but would I rather see that, or the picture that Speli/Kip posted all over PEEL before their bannination?

I thought Bender's Machine was called a Gay-Dar...

The non-PE member who is most likely to be gay is NOT Zapp Brannigan. He is attracted to Leela in Man Form since he is so used to leela and that made him attracted to her....

but it would have to be......

either....

Zoidberg, or Amy.

Yes they are both creepy. But my stupid computer is palying up and it wont let me quote the part i want to was I meant Leela has the look. Not my sister. Although she breaks race horses so she wears boots, but so do i. i still think leela could play both sides of the field. Sometimes i think her need for a man could be changed if the right girl came along.

That’s what he called it in “LLLiS.”

... Zoidberg, or Amy.

There I must disagree.
Zoidberg is an alien; God only knows what normal gender roles are for his species.

Amy...

Amy strikes me as the type who might have "experimented," as Ralph suggests (at least, I think it was Ralph...), but she still likes men, as evidenced in "LLLiS," "XS," "WMIbaCiL," "PYHOMS," etc.

She may be bisexual, but this is hardly relevant to the story arc.

Well in Why must I be a crustacean in love we see exactly what the normal sexual orientation for Zoidberg's creatures are, they are straight, as seen during the mating frenzy.

Yes, we see sexual orientation, not necessarily gender roles.

We’ve also seen Zoidberg assume female gender roles - at least female according to human norms of the western hemisphere.
He served tea (or something) to Amy and Michelle in “TCW,” while wearing a lady’s kitchen apron: Also in “TCW,” (IIRC) he mentions that on their delivery to the ‘fantasy planet’, for one glorious evening he knew what it was to be a grandmother.

It could be due to Decapodian society, or an artifact of Zoidberg’s individual personality.
Who knows? 

It doesn’t really matter, but it is one more possibility for jokes.

I wonder if same sex Decapodian sex also results in death or if it's just the male/female pairing which proves to be fatal

That hasn't been addressed in canon, and, for reasons that should be self-evident, I doubt it ever will!
In a species that dies immediately after reproducing, I would expect the incidence of sexual acts intentionally not resulting in offspring to be essentially nonexistent.

If you have only one shot, you’ll do everything to hit the target.

Decapodians, unlike humans, have sex for only one reason - and it ain't recreation!

Norm and Sam and Sadie's boy, remember?

No further comments ;-)

I always assumed that to mean one of the three was a foster parent, since his two biological parents would be dead before they could raise him.

However, your idea is much funnier.
