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

What do you think?

But going back to our discussion, break the arguments away from those "loud mouths" and back into the individual question of could Dean Winchester be bi-sexual though and it's far more interesting.

There were many discussions about Dean being bisexual before Cas ever came on the scene, never did they dissolve into slanging matches and there were some very interesting thoughts put forward and I agreed a lot. No one was out to prove anything and no one needed to campaign to make it canon and I can't remember one instance where "hugging a man" was put forward as proof! I think though you'll find quite a few of the "old guard" of fans who were very open to the idea that Dean's sexuality was very fluid, the way he grew up, on the road etc and would have been really, really happy to have seen Dean and Sam equally comfortable with whatever gender they'd chosen for the night - Sam more so in his past than show present. I don't think you'd have many openly agree right now and that's bloody sad, but show writers went with the shallow and some Destielers are screaming for the romance of it all.

And it could have been so different. It would have broken many taboos to have Dean make a journey of discovery - I'm just not convinced a regular character on the show that's an angel of the lord would be the right choice, sexual relationships don't really have much of a future on a show such as SPN and I'd find better things to do with the angel and find Dean a nice buff doctor or something, someone for him to question and doubt about, someone he might wonder if he's using or loving - you know, something interesting! :))

Anyway, I'm sorry not to have made my first comments a little clearer, but thanks for questioning and I hope if I've made it even more muddled, you'll come back and ask for clarification, words aren't always my friend, but it's been lovely to chat. :))
