My vision of Scarlet is of him behaving like some sort of pretty boy with a dignified air and strong heterosexual tendencies. Kind of annoys me that people latch onto Scarlet in the hopes of him being an LGBT character. I would much prefer they introduce a gay character or reveal a character to be gay where no one really sees it coming.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hope that Scarlet is anything (other than being male of course... boy would my face eczema if was a girl)... I would simply be accepting as I don't think it would be against-type. However, if he were revealed as such straight out of the gate, it would piss me off as he would be exactly what Monty said he was intending to avoid. Whatever Scarlet's "proclivities" may be, the show has to give us a sense that he has the freedom to express or explore them in his time instead of just immediately doing stereotypical things.
