What if Ranma was gay?

He can't.  He can never avoid that cold water.

Fanfic writers have been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt.

As an aside, "Thy Outward Part" has often been labeled by detractors as
being a gay fanfic.  Kun-chan's "Ranma no Hentai" was written specifically
to counter TOP and TNoL.

Though the thing is, Ranma may be gay, but Kentaro is straight (now there's
a dilemma)  That is to say they'll probably never have sex both as men (am
I right in that regard?)  So I don't think of it as a gay fanfic (well,
mainly because Ranma can never be truly gay unless he does it as a guy)
