To me that just send the wrong message about the gay community and gay people. Not to change your perspective on Rico I would have Rico still the Casanova who loves himself and feels he is super charming(sort f like Reggie in that way).
A nemesis/arch-rival for Kevin Keller, with whom KK would have a sizzling love-hate chemistry. In my head I call this character Rico. He would be quite the Casanova, and convinced that any gay, bi or questioning male must fall for his charms. He would have two or three minions who hang on his every word. He would be the last word in style. He would be witty, sarcastic, seductive. In short, Rico would be everything KK is not.

I'd hire better writers. Even some of the most talked about issues of recent times did not have strong stories.
Such as? Mark Waid? Chip Zdarsky?

If they played this like the film this story is based on Jug and Ron would have ended up together. As an aside, I like George Bernard Shaw's original ending that subsequent adaptions ignored better though.
I am a big fan of that play, and Shaw's original ending.
YES! It was so progressive for its time too. Eliza decides to be independent of Higgins realizing if she stays she will have to be subservient to him and marries Freddy instead so she can be the boss in the relationship. It's a shame contemporary attitudes prevailed and Eliza staying with Higgins is considered the "happy" ending.
