I think you've mixed up Cthulhu's coming out (to destroy all that we

Well, if we believe Darwin, then Cthulhu had to have come from a whole
population of Cthulhus. Just be careful about meeting his parents.

This adds a whole new level of complexity to the Cthulhu mythos. Perhaps
Mr. Cthulhu is only out there searching for a soul-mate; another elderly
tentacled behemoth to call his own.
I imagine we'll soon be seeing a new HPL-esque collection of stories in
which various entities confront their horrific gay needs...

Attributing any human qualities to these otherworldly beings is
really inane. How can one apply a human condition to something that
isnt a human? These creatures function beyond our realm of reality. How
can one attempt to assign human emotions and feelings to something that
is wholly inhuman?

It's interesting that many, especially those who defend Derleth's
interpretation, remark about the inherent "morality" in this story, even
moreso than in "Dreams in the Witch-House".
I take a contrary position. I think it illustrates HPL's views
on morality and such. He did not deny that it "existed", per se, rather
that it didn't rest on an independent foundation. The "morality" in the
story is strictly human. The Whateleys and the Old Ones are "evil"
because they want to destroy all of humanity. Conversely, Nodens (in the
stories he appears) is "good" because he seems friendly towards humanity.
HPL, I think, was making the rather subversive stance that morality is
relative; at least one mythos author has written an essay that claims
Wilbur is the hero, thwarted by the interfering busybody Armitage!
I wish that some author would elaborate; perhaps some alien race
similiar to ours has Nyarlathotep as a Jesus-like figure, and Nodens as
Satanic! Certainly all the Outer Gods are beyond our notions of good and
evil -- like Herber wrote of Nyarlathotep: "He is worse than an evil
god. He a god that does not care."
I should also like to point out that the "villians" aren't even
the Old Ones, or Yog-Sothoth; rather, that the Whateleys have taken it
upon themselves to contact the Old Ones. Humanity, it seems, is its own
worse enemy. Maybe that's why Nyarlie is so contemptous of us; in that
it is not he that destroys humanity directly, but some power-mad humans
demand some world-shattering power from him and use it.
The quote on Yog-Sothoth: Much bandied-about, oft-quoted, yet
many admit puzzlement. My interpretation: Yog-Sothoth is, in his
various incarnations, the barriers between dimensions, the way (via his
Umr at Tawil form) to penetrate the barriers, and, in various avatars
such as a member of the Old Ones, tries to penetrate said barriers. I
justify this by the fact that he's an Outer God, and it doesn't have to
make sense to us mere humans.
The Old Ones: Possibly the littlest-used Mythos creation (with
the exception of the Sand Dwellers). Most just equate them with the
Great Old Ones/Outer Gods and leave it at that, but they seem to be a
strange, outer-dimensional race, supposedly wanting to reclaim earth
because it was once in their dimension. This concept also puts some
special emphasis on the importance of earth, and why it might be home to
a greater number of Mythos beings than most worlds (this is okay, just as
long as no great importance is attached to humanity.)

Well, if you want to use that as a litmus test, then Cthulhu is straight,

The Mi-Go may well feel this way; they are definitely worshippers of

Though I doubt that the idea of Jesus or Satan enters into their concept.

Umm, you do know that a lot of gay people have at some point in their
lives been married, even had children. Heterosexual behavior doesn't
preclude a gay lifestyle. Actually I believe that most of the Great
Old Ones can be polysexual, with all those tentacles, gaping orifices
and squidgy bits, they can find some way to mate with just about
anything. Even you males out there after an encounter with a
throbbing tentacle might find yourselves host to a hybrid shog-baby.
Incidentally, Cthulhu apparently has some weird incestuous thing with
his daughter Cthylla, as she will give birth to him again if he is
ever destroyed. Of course, this is in keeping with mythological deity
relations from the Sumerians to the Greeks and beyond.

Well, actually, if He/She/It/Whatever was to rise, and if H/S/I/W was
gay... both things could be mixed up without excluding sex. I'd use a
spanish expresion that's not political correct, nor polite, so I'm not

In a radio interview in London in 1983, Cthulhu announced
that he was gay, just before atomizing the interviewer.
It was later revealed that homosexuality in an elder god
only meant that Cthulhu preferred to mate with pools of
radioactive slime.

I'm now convinced that Cthulhu has no need of sex.

I think now that Cthulhu has no sexual preference, he doesn't
need sex.

Actually, now that I think about it, I doubt Cthulhu has sexual
preferences at all. After all, when you examine Cthulhu, you can see a
distinct (symbolic) resemblance to Lovecraft himself.
