Seriously? I did not see that one coming. Edilio coming out to Sam that he was Gay in Fear was so freakin Random. I mean its not like during the series he let out so called 'signs' UNlike Zil always saying how Lance was so handsome. Now i was waiting for something between the 2 of them to happen. But Edilio? Didnt expect that but in a bad way if that make sence. But Its kind of cool how in the top 2 of the 10 dangerous/ respected people in the FAYZ are Gay. Dekka and now Edilio. See, Gay people can make an impact on peoples lives that dosnt involved anything with their sexuallity. What do you think on Edilio coming otu story. And how you felt about it???????

Well honestly, i was paying to close attention and all i remember reading was something like ''i just don't want people calling me a fag'' or something like that im just like dafuq?

Agreed on just about all counts.
I really didn't want it to happen, it seemed random and forced to me. I mean I love just about every other thing that MG puts into the books, even when characters that I adore die or get injured or couples I like break up, because MG manages to make it work. But with Edilio.... it seemed strange and just not like it was part of the story. Don't get me wrong, I'm not homophobic in any way and I do think it's good that Gone has great gay role models.. but Edilio just does NOT seem gay, it took me out of the story. Especially when Howard and Zil and even Brianna have made people's GayDars (s.p.?) go off a lot more.
And why Roger. Edilio could have come out but just not ended up with Roger, even that would have been better in my opinion.

I think its great thats theres a great gay role modle because Gays can do anything. Even lead a bunch of people like what Edilio has been helping Sam with. Now Edilio is the Leader of the Lake kids. Also Not all gay guys are all 'Flammin faggots' and all girly and flamboyant. Thats just a sad but half way true sterotype. in some cases.

Not true at all xD (Not true with straight people either of course)


Well, it's better than him coming out with someone like Quinn and having them date. I'm not homophobic, but that would just be unrealistic if so many main characters were homosexual. I'm glad it was more of a minor character (although I still hate Roger).

I think Edilio coming out was just random and unnecessary and really didn't need to be in the story.

I agree with most people when they say it seemed as though it was kind of forced. It interupted the pace of the story for a while.

Admitingly when MG gave us the 10 spoilers, with the suprise coming out, I was kind of thinking that it was going to be Edilio. Alot of people were thinking Brianna, but that would've been way too obvious.

Whilst reading the book, when Edilio said the whole Babe bit, I just thought... WHAT!?
I mean, I thought I must have misread it somewhere. And he said it to Roger. Like honestly wth?

And yeah, I just hope their relationship isn't brought up too often in Light cause I do think it would interupt the pace of the book. Unless of course he writes it well, but... yeah I dunno.

Yep, I agree with this.
Only I was majorly confused.

I completely feel the same way.
What I meant by 'he could have come out but just not ended up with Roger,' was that he could have come out, but not ended up with ANYONE. As much as I think Quinn/Edilio or Howard/Edilio would by FAR surpass the actual so-called couple, you're right in saying it would be very unrealistic for EVERYONE to suddenly be gay xD
Next we'll be having Albert and Caine end up together, huh Alex? ;D

I wasn't thinking Edilio really. I was worried it would be Brianna ('cause COMPUTER BREEZE FTW, it's been too long since I've said that)... I didn't think even for a minute that it would be Edilio.
And I think the 'babe' thing was OOC haha. I feel the same way. I hope that in Light everyone pretends like Edilio never came out or at least never had any relationship with Roger, kinda like how the mention of Astrid's power was swept under the rug. Because honestly I think if there were any emphasis on that relationship in Light it would be really strange and you're right, it would interrupt the pace of the book.

Yeah it did interup the story a little but then it got back on track. If they mentioned it in Light I dont think it will intertup the story because if edilios is in an a relationship and he's happy. Should we all and wont that be a Lightening Mood....... Since this is the FAYZ your know. Where if your happy your punished for it. As Sam said

I had a feeling it'd be him. Through out the books hints were given him and roger were together. But it bothers me because it was just wierd. He, out of nowhere, became gay. Maybe thats the dream that Orsay knew he had in Hunger.

It was quite random to me cuz in Gone didnt he express some crush on Lana? like Very very briefly?

exactly! it was just SO random! It was so hard suddenly fitting the idea of gay into Edilio, unlike Zil, which was very funny indeed.

This is not trying to be racist in anyway

But don't you think it is an tiny bit stereotypical for the lesbian in the book to be a butch, black woman and the gay person to be latino?

Just sayin...

^ I think one of the highest population of gay people are latinos.
I may be wrong but that seems to me to be the stereotypical gay guy...
I'm gonna have to read over the books to catch any signs of Edilio being gay but I don't remember any hints at all.
I just think Michael woke up one day and thought, "Yup Edilio's gay". ;D

I think this is how he plans most of the series XD
