Static Shock/Ho Yay

Despite Word of God saying that while Static's best friend and sidekick, Richie, was gay but they couldn't bring it up in the series, there seems to be a lot of stuff they got past the radar concerning Richie's intense fanboying over Virgil.
 * One of the earlier episodes consists of Richie becoming intensely and obviously jealous when Virgil starts spending more time with a girl than with him. The girl in question finally gets fed up by the end of the episode and tells them to get back together.
 * The episode Sons of the Fathers reveals that Richie's father is a racist bigot, and his disapproval of Virgil plays out very much like a Romeo and Juliet-esque "why don't you like my boyfriend!" sort of thing.
 * When the world is in risk of being completely obliterated by a Brainiac-possesed Gear, the Justice League infers they might have to destroy him to save the earth. Static, for some lovely reason, apparently values his partner's life over the entire world.
 * The end of the 'Wet N Wild' episode. Static zaps Gear's ass on purpose, grins flirtatiously, and says "Ahh, that's better." End episode. 'Nuff said.
 * In the second-to-last episode, . He's not sure what to think of this, so Static and Gear try to win his approval. Dialogue then goes as follows. "But, pops, we've been doing it for a really long time!" Gear smiles and adds "Yeah, and we're pretty good at it, too!"
 * In the episode "Attack of the Living Brain Puppets, " Madeline reads Richie's mind and all he's thinking of is Virgil.
 * To double as Foe-Yay, in the episode "No Man's an Island", there's some moments between Virgil and Hotstreak, including Virgil saying "How about what I can do for you?"
