Homosexual Undertone?
Not so, so sure there's an undertone there, considering they're a heterosexual couple. Methulah 02:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, absolutely heterosexual, considering they're both male.
 * Or considering they have no gender.

Will someone explain to me how angels have no gender? Lyra makes so much of Xaphania being female that I don't see how angels can be genderless. Also when Ruta Skadi meets the five watchers in the Cigatazze world she mentions that three are male and two female, so obviously there's a difference.

Yes they're gay, get over it

 * Angels in Pullman's stories are indeed male and female when they take human form. Baruch and Balthamos are male lovers, yes.  In fact Baruch was a human male at some point.  I wouldn't call it a homosexual "undertone" seeing as how they are blatantly and obviously a male-male couple (I think of "undertone" as being something obscure that is merely hinted at, not plainly laid out in simple terms, like this same-sex relationship is).Rglong 06:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
