Just read this great quote from Michael Rosenbaum on
corinna_5's LJ:
Q: There's certain fans who see a gay subtext in all those long, intense gazes between Lex and Clark. What do you make of that? Michael Rosenbaum: [Laughs] I love it. In fact, if there's a line where I look at Clark and I say [with intense gaze], ''If you need me, I'm there,'' we laugh our asses off. It takes us 10 takes to get it out. Let the audience think what they want to think. If they watch the show, they have their own views on which way it's gonna go, and I love that. I don't want to give the answers away, because the answers lie in their minds.

That is so cool.
It also sounds like the kind of answers Dorothy Dunnett gives readers who come up with interpretations and reinterpretations of what happened in her books: that it's their story too, to make of whatever they will.
That's the attitude everyone should have.
As for Michael Rosenbaum, isn't it great that he doesn't feel the need to act homophobic?
