See, with most of the fanfic featuring remus in slash pairings, he's usually a *slash* character rather than a *gay* character
I make the distinction not to fall back on stereotypes or to imply that remus as he is could not be gay, but rather to use slash in it's actual fannon meaning - two cannonically straight characters of the same sex in a romantic relationship.
the reason I say remus, or any other character, is a slash character rather than just a gay character is the fact that sexual orientation is never really delt with on the whole. It's always Remus falling for one specific person (sirius being my OTP *g*) They see only eachother, and quite often the slash pairing seems to be the exception to usual dating behavior (this is usually the case for sirius especially, as remus is usually characterized as not having much of a love life)
