Lost mention in Out magazine

[Sydney]

The October issue of Out magazine has a small interview with Damon Lindelof:

"We asked Lost's executive producer, Damon Lindelof, why there are no gay castaways on a show with over a dozen main characters."

"To be honest with you, we have asked this question of ourselves many, many times. We didn't want to do the token gay character. We want to introduce characters in the nonstereotypical way, so they aren't branded by their identities. If we have a gay character on the show, what is the [story] arc going to be? We don't want him to be 'the gay guy.' We want him to be 'the guy who is also gay.' If I were to tell you Harold Perrineau's character [Michael] is actually gay, would that surprise you? After all, he had a girlfriend 10 years ago, he got her pregnant, and they split ways. You read all these articles in The New York Times about guys on the down low... and we'd love to have a gay couple. That would be awesome. So all I'm going to say is, watch season 2."
