it serves its own purpose there was no reason for it to come back up. one of the themes of the show is how the world is not split up or segregated. Thestreet/drug world and the downtown/police world is all part of Baltimore. Just like the scene when Poot and Bodie see Herc and Carver at the movies and whenBodie and McNulty run into each other at the sandwich shop.

No, everyone did not catch that. I remember that episode and all, but I didn't remember Rawls at the gay bar. They could have made so much out of that.

You still would have thought they would have went a little further into it, I mean thats the only reference we get of him being gay in the whole series.

SPOILERS
actually in the last episode or last to last episode when they catch mcnulty faking everything, rawls says something along the lines of
"I'm into some kinky **** but ....." I always thought that was a little reference to the hay bar scene like "we aint forgot" haha

So? you don't have any other references to Herc and Carver going to the movies. The series was cut short enough as it is why would you add filler thatdoesn't advance the plot or contribute to the overall theme(s) of the show?

Actually Omar being gay is part of his character because it shows how Baltimore is like his prison. He's forced to do certain things like people in prisonare (I actually picked that theme up from the commentary). Also shows the contrast with his morality. There is no real reason behind Snoop being lesbian asidefrom that she's basically playing herself. And there's only one reference to her sexual orientation on the show that I recall.
Kima was probably written as a lesbian because shes probably based on either one or more people that the creators worked with while they were police.

Rawls would get ridiculed for being a homosexual cop that called any cop that made a mistake a c-sucker.
