I like to talk about politics with people that agree with me, and I like high class places.

Hee. Now I'm imagining a version of Buffy wherein all the demons dress like Industrial Revolution-era tycoons, and the Slayers (because having a Chosen *One* is elitist) have to come up with ways to rally the workers every week.
For sweeps, they harvest grain.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
drab, socialist version of Buffy.
Hmm. Yes. The government's official position would be that vampires don't exist, but actually they make up a large chunk of the KGB. Buffy would wear shorter skirts (really) and more makeup, and have fur coats instead of leather ones. Willow could wear her eskimo outfit and fit in. Giles would drink tea... with vodka in it. Instead of the Mayor, season 3 would have involved the Mafia.
Okay, I'll stop now. My two years in a former Soviet Republic are showing.

And they have a Glorious Five Year Plan to make the world vampire free.

And Buffy sends Angel to the gulag at the end of Season Two, because he became a capitalist traitor to the revolution after they slept togehter.

But before that, this East German slayer named Kendra shows up. But all the fans are freaked out because her accent totaly sounds Georgian.

I saw Willow being gay as just another anvil labelled "Guys are occasionally fun to have around, but fairly irrelevant to our lives".
Err, Connie, I find that really offensive, especially as Willow came out when the show was still fairly guy-heavy.
And, given that it took until the final freaking episode for the heroine to decide that she was a fish and the guys were bicycles for the nonce, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it really felt in the last few seasons like they lost the girl power mission.
I would have hated a Xander is gay storyline. I am not sure why, but I guess I just liked that this man who honestly liked women, preferred their friendship, was straight, and would have (at least at times) liked to have been (and in Willow's case, was) romantically (or sexually) involved with them, but when it didn't work out (or last), the friendship was more important, and easily survived the romantic feelings.
It's rare to see on screen, and that's something I respect ME for showing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
developing heebie jeebies at idea of Kendra saying, "Mr. Pointy, y'all."
