Wasn't Andrew Van der Kamp bisexual, not gay? In the episode where Brie made him talk to the priest he used an analogy for his sexuality that ran:

"Put it this way, I like vanilla ice cream, but now and then I'm going to feel like having chocolate"

to which the priest responded "I think God would prefer you to stick to vanilla".82.4.43.19 22:20, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

While we can assume that vanilla means straight and chocolate gay, there is no reason to think so. It could easily have been the other way around.

I think it's clear that vanilla represents girls. Do you think a priest would tell a boy, in God's name, to stick to boys?

---

Possibly. Is he Episcopalian, do you think? Plus, nobody likes vanilla.

Even if he prefers boys, he's still bisexual. Zythe 14:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but in one more recent episode he states he is gay to his mom Bree : "I knew you would be like this the moment I told you I was gay."

Yes, recent episodes have made it quite clear that Andrew now regards himself as gay; there has been no further suggestion of bisexuality. The "chocolate" discussion with the priest may have been an earlier 'phase' of development in the character. DWaterson 21:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, at one point (it may have been with the priest) Andrew said/implied that he was simply wanting his mother to think he was gay. I live in Australia, where we get DH behind the USA so I don't know some of the more recent stuff & I certainly don't want to see an edit war so if anyone else can shed any more light...
