[edit] Stewie's Sexuality

Although this episode gives us plenty of evidence on Stewie's sexuality, resist the urge to lable him as gay. --BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Now hold on, maybe this has been discussed on Stewie's article but why has everybody rule out that he's gay? Has everybody forgotten about the romantic interesthe's had with girls? Janet, Olivia, Liddane, the erection he got from watching the Buddy Cianci cheerleaders, and in the possible future the encounter with coworker Fran which Stewie himself encourage on his older self Stu. If you were to categorize his sexuality, it would fall more along the lines of bisexuality. Also his age also could help support that his sexuality as ambiguous.

I didn't say that he's not gay, I'm just saying that this episode will lead you to believe he's gay. I agree 100% with the bisexual theroy, but I'm saying the urge to lable him as "Gay" is very tempting after this episode. --BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 14:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I say that he is just a baby so he is nothing yet. But who cares, he's fictional. On a related note, what does "split me in half" mean? Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I'm just confused. Tojo940 (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I was just trying to help stop everyone else from writing him "gay" as Brian has in various episodes.

"Split me in half" is intened to be a euphemism for penetration. As a woman would remark on a guy who had a really large penis as "If he were to stick that in me, he'd split me in two" or in this case "split me in half". Sarujo (talk) 21:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notes Section

List-en! Keep the bullet points in the notes section. And don't take out any information. If you do that, 1)the section will be less organised and 2)the more info we have, the better the article. Take a look in any encyclopedia, look up WWII, and it will have a HUGE article on it split into smaller sections. Okay? --BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 14:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I totally agree. The bullet points make it much more readable and organized. Tojo940 (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dylan and Brian's age

Personally, I can see a bit of logic behind Dylan being Brian's son, despite being older than him. Perhaps Dylan ages faster that the average human because he is, in fact, part dog. So he could be thirteen in dog years, but only two in human years. I mean, when there's a group of children born to an interracial couple, they are neither fully white or fully black. - 220.237.162.102 (talk) 06:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

That's a good point. I never thought of that. Then that would make Brian's line, "Well, thoes are in dog years" totally valid. Cool--BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 17:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Seems like the writer's made an unintentional point while attempting to be funny. However, this isn't a talk page for Family Guy but rather a place for discussion of improving "The Former Life Of Brian" article. K.H (talk) 04:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Way Too Much Trivia

More than half of the article is composed of completely unencyclopedia like trivia, Wikipedia discourages even minor list of trivia facts so imagine how big a flaw this is. Please sort these facts in the appropriate places as opposed to creating lists, it be much appreciated. K.H (talk) 04:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
