No one, well wait, let me put it this way, I am not expressing any intolerance over the potential of homosexual characters.
I personally do not like when some parts of the fandom attempt to turn the seekers into somekind of yaoi or slash club. Even if they were all somehow together in an intimate fashion, it would be bad story telling in how obvious it was to turn a group of 'pretty boys' gay.
At any rate, my point is that I do not have a problem with any kind of homosexual concept in a character or even a Transformers character. I just don't like it applied to this particular character in this particular relationship. It seems unfounded if indeed it was what the author intended (which he may or may not have).
