okay, we KNOW they've been at it. but my original point is still valid. for whatever reason, the writers never actually admit it. although nancy DID come to her door in a robe and John was there, they got around it by saying she was getting a massage or something like that, and if my guess is right, we will never see them kissing, holding hands, sleeping together, or anything. that's the joke.

Let's not forget Smithers on The Simpsons, although it's been pretty obvious in the last couple of years that Smithers _is_ gay. Even so, some people on alt.tv.simpsons (who don't read the FAQ) continue to start "Is Smithers Gay?" threads.
