The show is supposed to make fun of soap operasJodie's changing sexuality is just one of many twisting plots and odd occurrences - possessed babies, alien abductions, people "returning from the dead" (Chester), cults, murders.

In one of the 4th season episodes,Burt was wondering about the sex lives of Carter and Reagan,and Mary says,"I don't think Republicans do it." At the very end of the series,a friend of the Governor named Gene(Jay Garner)claims to own "6 Governors,18 Congressmen,4 Attorney Generals,11 houses,12 cars,but not one Senator!" When Burt asks "Own?" Gene responds "well now I'm just joshing with ya,ya can't own people,that misguided fella Lincoln saw to that!" Fortunately,they kept politics out of the show,at least until Sheriff Burt became "Bat," but everything else was fair game,one reason why it hasn't dated as much as SNL or other groundbreaking shows of the time.

It seems that the only reason to have a gay character on Soap was to make stereotypical jokes at the expense of gay people. Jodie Dallas protested a lot that he was gay, but his actions were for the most part heterosexual. There were plenty of comic/melodramatic situations that a truly gay Jodie could have found himself in without resorting to the "I'm so confused about my sexuality" tripe.

Jodie kept swearing he was gay, but ended up with women. If things wasn't going well with being with men, he should have just been happy with women, and Maggie I believe loved him for who he was. Obviously it was a part of him that liked women because he did sleep with two of them, and it wasn't against his will, really. Dennis just wanted him to have a sex change so they could be together. He get a sex change to be a woman so they can be married, HELLO he wouldn't be the same person anymore.
In the beginning Jodie acted more flamboyant, but later on him being gay seem to have been mentioned less and less. I wonder did the show get a lot of letters wishing they would stop the Jodie is gay storyline.

Being gay had just been taken off the list of psychological disorders a few years before! ;-/
