I am considering (considering) opening a topic for discussion on whether destiel will become canon in the show sometime soon.

What do you think?

Hey...just wanted to say thanks for sharing those links. I hadn't seen that second article and it was interesting to read a lot there that has been teased out in this discussion.

It is depressing and it makes me sad for my show.

Also this quote:

Dean is a manly heterosexual guy, he wasn't flirting back to aaron, it was just a comic moment #jibcon

...(which I've seen multiple times on Tumblr since I left my other comments) makes me think that Jensen is probably just a product of his Bible Belt raising, rather than a closeted queer, but it's still rather insensitive, especially for someone who's spent as long in show business as he has. Since, apparently, he doesn't get that "manly" and "heterosexual" are not the same thing, nor are "homosexual" and "masculine" mutually exclusive, and that's just for starters.
