Note to DeviantART: I do not know if this falls under mature content. Homosexuality is mentioned, but there is nothing graphic involved. If the rating needs to be changed, or if I need to provide something to help comply with the guidelines, please let me know so I can do so as soon as I can. Thank you in advance.

A note on Jim's character design:

Some folk over at the Portal of Evil wondered how my protrayal of Gays is going to be in this strip, and whatever or not I've actually met any homosexuals in real life (of is this merely a Queer Eye fanfict, Hurr Hurr Hurr and lots of [RADIO EDIT]). Someone said that I may have actually met some and not know it, mainly because they don't announce their lifestyle to the world.

That's what I'm shooting for when it comes to Jim Goodlow. Initially, I'm putting in him similar values to what I would have if I myself were gay. (I'm actually straight IRL, so LilMarcieMouse needn't worry ^-^) You can see that he's a member of the Gay-friendly conservative group 'Log Cabin Republicans,' and that he doesn't consider his sexual orientation a major part of who he is; if you don't want to know, he won't bother you with the details. He also has beliefs that run counter to what the general public would consider to be in this particular lifestyle. (Two examples: He considers choice as much a factor as to what makes a person gay on par with genetics, environment, and what not. Don't want to be gay, or don't want to anymore? You have his permission. He'd also tell younger people to hold off on deciding their orientation until they're more mature, being that there are more important things to worry aobut; like School Studies, and getting through that final boss in Final Fantasy XII.) It's not that I've made him to intentionally run counter with folks with agendas, but I wanted Jim to have a more realistic view on life in general, and that he's more than his gayness. It is my hopes that Jim's character is in par with the current trend to make Homosexuality more toleratable--a move started with recent programs in the media like Queer Eye--as well as counter the reputation I got when one of my characters used the 'F' word while telling off Zoycite in Sailor Moon: American Kitsune.

Oh, and if you think that Jim Goodlow is an self-insertion, (That's Adam Packbell's job, thank you so much) future strips will change that notion real quick. There are some things Jim have and does you wouldn't catch me dead in.
