“Ron Moore Brings Us Same-Sex Marriage… In Space!”
Ron Moore’s Virtuality includes the sure-to-be-controversial married couple Manny (Jose Pablo Cantillo) and Val (Gene Farber), who hold hands freely aboard the starship Phaeton. And show creator Ron Moore tells a queer television blogger that he feels bad for not including more gay characters on Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica.
The heterocentrism of sci-fi is one of the most annoying pitfalls of the genre — but then, you can’t really blame semi-autistic male geek-writers for not “understanding” homosexuality, and not being able to relate to gay characters; they already have enough trouble relating to human characters at all, and writing the obligatory love scenes between the male Mary Sue and his bimbo-of-the-week.
And I’d choose BSG’s campiness any day over Will & Grace In Space.

Ah, thanks :) I just didn't think what I'd written was that insightful, so I was looking for other explanations :)
