At first, I read that as “Baio” and thought it was a “Charles In Charge” reference. :)

Heheheh…
Baio…actually…was in at least one gay themed film, as the straight best friend of a gay high school football team mate. It was based on the novel, Counter Play by Anne Snyder and Louis Pelletier, who scripted many Disney flicks. The novel was a wonderful story about the meaning of friendship, and about how you have to be true to yourself, before you can be true to anyone else…a lesson that actually it’s the straight kid who learns. But the film was…horrible. Baio was just plan wrong for the part, but that was the least of it. They took the story and turned it into the kind of cheap afternoon TV pablum about tolerance that can make even those of us fighting for it squirm. I saw where it was going when I learned they’d changed the name from Counter Play to The Truth About Alex.

I’m not sure what Baia is, but that was beautiful.
