My goal is less to prove Wilson is gay or bisexual, and more to show how House, MD could effortlessly go in that direction from the way Wilson has been characterized, and how the storyline could play out. While this is relevant to his relationship with House, the points do not center on it and deal with the relationship only peripherally.

I will be referring to Wilson as gay, although he could just as (or more) easily be bisexual. I don't care to argue where exactly he lies on the Kinsey Scale, as that point is irrelevant.

Clearly, Wilson's behavior is open to interpretation. From his actions in Season 3, he could very easily be codependent (covered already). He could also simply be in love with House, regardless of orientation (covered, covered, and covered). He could also be gay, which is the angle I decided to explore.

I also am not judging Wilson based on his “stereotypically gay” traits. Yes, he likes to cook and keep things tidy. He's concerned with his appearance, blow-dries his hair, and more than likely wears toe-nail polish. He has a bit of a feminine aura to him and knows a little too much about the Village People. As far as I am concerned, these are Wilson's personal quirks, nothing more.

( He's here, he's queer, get used to it. Damnit. )

Summary Five ways Wilson could have come out (or been forced out) of the closet, but more than likely didn't.
A/N I've been wanting to write this one forever. Entertainingly, OpenOffice likes to guess what word I'm typing. For this story, it decided I was trying to title it "Five Ways Wilson Didn't Come Outrageously." That sounds like a fun story. Alas, it's not this one.

( What's the differential diagnosis for an adult male who blow dries his hair? Besides being Chase, of course. )
