I hope noone felt offended by this idea. I dont mean to offend just make people think

Hlmeyuka- I was thinking the same thing. Noone really cared back in ancient time, ecpesally in Ancient Rome (Emperor Tiberius and and his scandolus time in Capri...)

MaliciousMisery, (and everyone else)- I totally get what your saying about the series being a kids one and I guess I never thought about it from the sales point of veiw. Although when you think about all the contravecial things that have come out in the past and how well theyve done on the market... Fifty Shades of Grey just passed Harry Potter in most copys of a book sold so I dont think it would have tanked completely. People tend to want to read contravercial literature just out of curiosity When I first read The Lost Hero I felt that the writing itself was a bit more mature than PJO and Kane. I would love to see a homosexual charecter in a childrens book. It doesnt half to be a big plot point, just thrown in there, but I feel like it would help make people less discriminating as they grew up by letting them know it exists and is ok.

Also as far as the Leo/??? debate thats been raging up and down this thread I feel like there is going to be some girl that shows up in the next two books thats going to be his perfect match. Someone that is finally going to appreciate him for all his humor and talents. ...but if I could pair him with a guy right now I'd support Leo/Jason (maybe, honestely there isnt anyone on the Argo right for him in my opinion includingESPECIALLY Hazel)
