Poirot is gay.

I mean, honestly, Poirot is so GAY. Don't you think so too?

This makes Poirot/Hastings Teh Agatha Christie OTP.

(And no, I didn't drink anything!)

EDIT: Of course I'm not the first one to notice *bonks head* Kathy Resch has published multimedia zines with Poirot fic inside, and I also hunted down this long online story (not read yet, but soon *G*)

Yes, deeply, deeply gay *g*.

Hercule rules!

I'm a longtime Poirot fan. Years ago when I used to watch all the time, (*long* before before I was introduced to *slash*) I definitely got that impression. He would give the occasional appreciative glance at a lovely ingenue, and I think he did have at least one female romantic interest that I recall, but I agree his gestalt is gay. Poirot/Hastings makes perfect sense!

Oh, absolutely. I'm a huge Christie fan, and Poirot is my favorite character of hers. And since I got into slash, well, you know, it warps the mind... In a good way! ;)
