There is no amount of evidence that could convince me that "proselytising"
homosexuality is even possible. You can`t make someone gay, they either are
or they aren`t. He`s not trying to convert the world en masse to
homosexuality. Have any straight people watching this show been tempted to
turn gay? I certainly haven`t. Stop spouting such complete and utter
nonsense. If the portrayal of homosexual characters upsets you then why the
fuck have you continued to torture yourself week in week out by watching
this show? Spend your time doing and watching things you enjoy doing, life`s
too short.
You're such a bummer...... Fagamemnon, come out come out!
The Bronze
BOLLOCKS!
How much screen time was devoted to the examples you've given? 60%? Not a
chance.
We all know RTD intentionally blurred the lines. Made it difficult to
emphatically state which characters are gay and which are heterosexual. Why
is that such a problem for you?
Oh, and here's a current story you might find interesting:
Scientists are conducting experiments to change the sexuality of "gay" sheep
in a programme that critics fear could pave the way for breeding out
homosexuality in humans.
The technique being developed by American researchers adjusts the hormonal
balance in the brains of homosexual rams so that they are more inclined to
mate with ewes.
It raises the prospect that pregnant women could one day be offered a
treatment to reduce or eliminate the chance that their offspring will be
homosexual. Experts say that, in theory, the "straightening" procedure on
humans could be as simple as a hormone supplement for mothers-to-be, worn on
the skin like an anti-smoking nicotine patch.
The research, at Oregon State University in the city of Corvallis and at the
Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, has caused an outcry.
Martina Navratilova, the lesbian tennis player who won Wimbledon nine times,
and scientists and gay rights campaigners in Britain have called for the
project to be abandoned.
Navratilova defended the "right" of sheep to be gay. She said: "How can it
be that in the year 2006 a major university would host such homophobic and
cruel experiments?" She said gay men and lesbians would be "deeply offended"
by the social implications of the tests.
But the researchers argue that the work is valid, shedding light on the
"broad question" of what determines sexual orientation. They insist the work
is not aimed at "curing" homosexuality.
Approximately one ram in 10 prefers to mount other rams rather than mate
with ewes, reducing its value to a farmer. Initially, the publicly funded
project aimed to improve the productivity of herds.
The scientists have been able to pinpoint the mechanisms influencing the
desires of "male-oriented" rams by studying their brains. The animals'
skulls are cut open and electronic sensors are attached to their brains.
By varying the hormone levels, mainly by injecting hormones into the brain,
they have had "considerable success" in altering the rams' sexuality, with
some previously gay animals becoming attracted to ewes.
Professor Charles Roselli, the Health and Science University biologist
leading the research, defended the project.
He said: "In general, sexuality has been under-studied because of political
concerns. People don't want science looking into what determines sexuality.
"It's a touchy issue. In fact, several studies have shown that people who
believe homosexuality is biologically based are less homophobic than people
who think that this orientation is acquired."
The research is being peer-reviewed by a panel of scientists in America,
demonstrating that it is being taken seriously by the academic community.
Potentially, the techniques could one day be adapted for human use, with
doctors perhaps being able to offer parents pre-natal tests to determine the
likely sexuality of offspring or a hormonal treatment to change the
orientation of a child.
Roselli has said he would be "uncomfortable" about parents choosing
sexuality, but argues that it is up to policy makers to legislate on
questions of ethics.
Fagamemnon - we're on to you! Come out come out! Come join the party,
my cheeky little Greek! Perhaps we can discuss your 'education' as per

I've been thinking of doing that with EastEnders. I reckon there's

WRONG. 60% of the episodes had a homoerotic theme whereas it should have
only been 70% of 6% or the episodes, or one and only ONE episode over two

He is doing that because he wants to convert people to homosexuality. And
don't tell me that that is not possible. That is BOLLOCKS. Anyone can be
converted to homosexuality. Just look at ancient Athens where they were
bisexual.

Homosexuality is a controllable mental choice, based on satisfying your urge
to ejaculate.
So what it is saying is that homosexuality in animals is caused by the
environment. If they are given a healthy balance of hormones they will
behave normally.
What these sheep need is the equivalent of some good porno mags. This will
have them producing the right hormones with no need for injections.
Look at the number members of this group that have become defenders of the
gays since Torchwood started. Soon they will become gay themselves if they
have not been converted already.

So you admit you could conceivably be converted to homosexuality? Speak for

Well here's on to get you started. On Christmas Day they killed off Pauline.

That's it. If you can't get what you want, use foul language.
While Agatha tends to talk tripe on the matter of homosexuals, even my wife
made a comment over what goes through RTD's mind and whether he has an
agenda. It was quite blatant in this episode. And I'm sure to have two guys
kissing each other during the 1940's in the middle of a dance floor would
have started a riot. I remember it still causing a fuss in the early 70's
just with two guys holding hands.

RUBBISH
Since only 6% of the population are gay for every gay kiss on Torchwood
there should have been 16 heterosexual kisses. How many heterosexual kisses
were shown in Cpatianjackdoescaptianjack. ONE!
For every shot of Welshbirdsfuckmate's arse there should have been 16 shots
of Welshbird's tits. Since Welshbirdsfuckmate's arse was shown twice there
should have been 32 shots of Welshbird's tits. NOT ONE shot of her tits was
shown, nor any other bird's tits.
How do you explain that?
The show is completely unbalanced and is pursuing a deliberate gay agenda.

Shots of a man's arse are not necessarily gay, since straight women in

To quote you "over 60% of Torchwood has been devoted to homoerotica!"
No it has not. Can you add up the timings for all homoerotic events
in all 13 episodes and demonstrate that they add up to 60% of the time
that Torchwood was on screen. I honestly doubt it. Like I said, your
list might make 30 minutes (at a push)
To be honest I am not sufficiently interested in trying to determine
the sexuality of every "sexual" encounter shown in Torchwood. I try to
look at the story and then decide if I enjoyed it or not
Like I said earlier I really do not think you should watch series 2 of

Memo to self - learn how to killfile
I don't know why I bother, but...
In the first place, these citations do not demonstrate "60% of
torchwood devoted to homoerotica", only that in all of these episodes,
in about 13 minutes of homosexual content. About 2%. So you're, as
usual, just plain wrong. But, I'll point out the disparity bit by bit.
>Glovebird => Cockyboy's gay kiss
Exactly matched by his *straight* kiss. Current gay-to-straight ratio:
1:1
Also, this episode's Gay Message: Homosexual behavior is induced by
the influence of alien drugs.
>Killercunt => Welshbird's lesbian kiss and talk about Jack being gay
About a dozen acts of heterosexual *intercourse* Current ratio: 13:2
Also, total gay acts: two kisses. Total straight acts: 12 instances
of coitus.
Also, this episode's Gay Message: Homosexual behavior is induced by
the influence of alien sexnology.
>Cyberbird => Jack kisses Closetgay
Plus a hot woman wearing nothing but a metal thong for the entire
episode. Plus a plot whose ENTIRE POINT revolves around a man's
heterosexual devotion to his girlfriend. Plus Gwen and Owen kiss.
Current ratio: 15:3
As this is as far as I've seen, that's as far as I'll comment. But so
far, here's what we have in the gay camp:
3 kisses, two under the influence of aliens, and apparantly contrary
to the actual desires of one of the participants
1 discussion of Jack's sexuality
And in the straight camp:
1 ongoing heterosexual relationship (Gwen & Rhys)
1 'illicit' heterosexual relationship (Gwen & Owen)
1 character driven to desperate and unwise actions due to heterosexual
love: (Yanto over Cyberwoman)
1 straight kiss under the influence of alien technology (Owen and his
victim)
12 or so actual acts of heterosexual sex between the sex alien and
sperm donors
Wow. There really is rather a lot of teh gays in Torchwood!
>
>ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

That's what I usually say at the end of one of your posts too!
A point that is constantly lost on poor Aggy. It's really quite sad that
he doesn't seem to be able to put 2+2 together in this regard. Spending
two years watching new Who, and then Torchwood, all the while loathing
it. It makes absolutely zero sense. No one in their right mind would do
such
a thing.
It just goes to prove that he's just a typical critic. This isn't about
Torchwood
sucking, or Doctor Who sucking. Or any of that. This is all about AGGY
himself. Period. It's about him needing to show everyone how brilliant
he is. It's about him compensating for whatever issues he has in life by
being
a huge blowhard. It's psychologically valid, and quite common.. and sadly,
for the supposed intelligent individual he his, he can't seem to figure that
out
for himself. Or he's deeply in denial. But truly, this is about him and his
own
personal issues, and nothing about either show.

In order to balance that out there should have been 3.5 hours of

Matched?
It wasn't matched at all. Gays are only 6% of the population. There should
have been 16 hetro kisses in that episode to balance out one gay kiss. But
were there. NO. All we have is one straight kiss. 15 straight kisses short.

12? I don't remember 12. There were 2 heterosexual acts shown and one
attempted act with someone who said he was gay. Thus there were 2 gay
references and 2 heterosexual references, whereas to balance out 2 gay
references 32 heterosexual acts of sex should have been shown. Thus the
episode was 30 hetrosexual acts short, or 45 heterosexual act short (shown
on screen) if you count the gay reference in the sperm bank as one for both
sides.

WRONG.
There was a gay kiss between Jack and Closetgay compared with a kiss between
Closetgay and Cyberbird and one between Welshbird and Coyckyboy. Therefore
there are 14 heterosexual acts short of equality.
Current ratio 74 heterosexual acts short of equality with the statistics.

No. Only 2 acts of straight sex were shown and the sperm doner was gay so
that doesn't count.
If you claim 4 gay references, they should have been balanced out by 64
straight references. Even by your count you are 48 straight references short
of equality with the statistics which give a ration of 16:1 straights to
gays.

The fact that you are trying to defend the proselytisation of homosexuality

So what's the excahange rate between a kiss and a shag? Surely

So all acts are equal? Then there were at least 20 longing looks
between Yanto and the cyberwoman. Heteros win this one.
If you think that a fleeting contextless kiss equals a long term
romantic relationship which drove a man to betray his friends, risk
his life, and nearly unleash cybernetitization on the world, then I
get to count every time everyone flirts, or even *thinks* about
heterosexual sex. Hell, I get to count the sex everyone's *parents*

And yet he continued to watch a series he hates by a man he hates,
having spent two years watching another series he hates by the same man
he hates, just so he can complain about how much he hates them.
That leaves only one "pathetic idiot" that I can see. (Well, two if we

Well, personally, if I don't like something on the screen, I don't watch it.
Case in

To be fair to Aggie, how else is he going to complain?
Whenever I've complained about TEC being shit despite never having
watched it, people here always tell me my opinion doesn't count and I
should at least watch the episode before complaining.
But when Aggie _does_ watch the episode and then complains, people say
his opinion doesn't count because he shouldn't've watched it?
Does this ng have double standards or what?

True, but I but the people on the EastEnders newsgroups don't take your
rants and complaints seriously. Think how much more effective it's be
if you actually _watched_ the episodes before complaining about them.
Maybe that's why the real Captain Jack died the following day; fragged
by his own side for being gay.

The point is he's now watched over thirty hours of television (DW & TW)
apparently solely for the purpose of complaining about how bad they
are.
Most sane people would reach a point where they realise, "Hang on, I'm
never going to like this so maybe I'd be happier watching something
else instead," well before thirty hours (and two and a half years) had
passed.

That's because most people, myself included, are too weak willed. We'd
rather do what we want or what we enjoy rather than what we ought to.
It's all part of the moral sickness that's gripping modern society.
And if we don't like something then we _ought to_ go out of our way to
complain about it. I don't agree with all of Aggie's points (in fact I
completely disagree with most of them) but I admire and respect the
dedication he's put into making them. I wish I could do the same.

Torchwood is supposed to be a science fiction show not a show about
homosexuals, just like Kojak was a supposed to be a cop show not a show
about Greek Americans, but whereas Kojak was made and sold as a cop show
even with the lead role being played by a Greek American actor, Torchwood
has been sold as a science fiction show but is actually being made as a show
about homosexuals all because the lead actor has been chosen to be gay.
Whereas only one story in the original series of Kojak ever had a Greek
American storyline (about a girl than went missing) 60% of the episodes of
Torchwood have been about homosexuality. Kojak was recently remade with the
lead role given to a black actor, but will RTG ever allow Torchwood to be
made with totally straight actors and straight story lives. Never. The bloke
is a BIGOT! Kojak reflected the fact that only about 2% of Americans were of
Greek origin and did not dwell on the fact, but Torchwood is being made as
if 60% of the population is Gay and not just 6% and is completely obsessed
with proselytising.
So why do you watch Torchwood then since that's exactly how the characters
treat each other?

Have you seen any porn videos lately. Although Gayvies wart's to make porn
he can't even do that properly. Where are the shots of breasts and vaginas.
All that Gayvies shows is men's arses.

What do you mean piles. If there were piles of them then they were not dead
since all of Killercuts victims turned to dust, and only one person was

You lost the moral point long ago. Accept defeat graciously.
In defense of my ranting and complaining ability, I'd like to point out that
the reason no one takes them seriously on the Eastenders newsgroups is
that I don't actually frequent the Eastenders newsgroups. If I did, I could
rant and complain without ever seeing the episodes. Look at Yads, he
doesn't have to watch the episodes to know filth when he doesn't see it.
:-)
Diane L.
That's what I thought.
Wasn't homosexuality banned in the British armed forces until some court
case at the ECHR in the 90's, and isn't it still illegal to be gay in the US
armed forces?
Jack Harkness would have been court-marshalled for coming out as gay in the
1940's and would never have been allowed to fly after doing so. It's would
have been straight to the brig.
RTG is a historical revisionist which proves he is just another bigot with
an axe to grind.

So how come Gwen's and Owen's same sex kisses count when they're both
shown as otherwise straight?
I'd accuse you of double standards but that would imply that I thought you
had any.
Diane L.
Because there's the occasional respite from the unrelenting misery, and
at least we get some aliens to liven up the plot occasionally. I've enjoyed
some of the episode of Torchwood but not others. If I'd hated them all I
would have stopped watching long ago.

I enjoy enough of it to make it worth my time. What's your reason?

Have they, have they really. Gayvies wouldn't agree with that idea at all.

Not being a mind reader, I couldn't comment on that. I'm just going
by the characters' words and actions in the series, not on my telepathic
impressions of the originator's mind.

I'll take over from here.
Aggie missed out a few episodes:
Blackmailedblakebloke => Blakebloke raped and murdered Sixtiesbird.
Jack flirts with Gwen. Gwen relives her early romance with Rhys.
(Note, since Evacueeboy grew up to be a grandfather, it might be
reasonable to assume that he had some heterosexual sex at some time, but
I don't want to open the whole Susan/Loom/Other debate, so I'm not
counting it.
Total so far: Straight 18 Gay 3.
Scaryfaries => Jack is reuinited with his old girlfriend.
Creepylittlegirl has a stepfather, so her mum must have had sex with at
least two men in her life. Paedophilebloke likes little girls, which is
very icky but still technically heterosexual.
Total so far: Straight 22 Gay 3
Thevalleyshaveeys => Welshbird and Cockneybloke begin an affair.
Total so far: Straight 23 Gay 3
>> Lesbalien => Lesbalien does Japbird
BTW I find the term "Jap" racially offensive, Can't you call her
Nerdbird instead? It's less racist, and it rhymes too!
Anyway, Nerdbird also reads the thoughts of various people including a
man who wants to kill himself and his wife and chidren (insane but still
straight), and a man wearing his wife's underwear (very kinky but once
again technically still straight). (Note: She also reads Gwen and
Owen's minds but I already counted them last time, so I'm not counting
them again.)
Total so far: Straight 25 Gay 4
>> The Return of Glovebird => Jack suggests timed gay sex
>> with Closetgay
Glovebird had a relationship with Brainwashedserialkiller.
Brainwashedserialkiller kills a straight married couple. We also saw
Glovebird's father who was presumably straight.
Total so far: Straight 28 Gay 5
Geekghost => Geekghost was in love with Officebird. We also saw
Geekghost's parents who were presumably straight.
Total so far: Straight 30 Gay 5
>> Fuckbuddies => Welshbirdsfuckmate shows his arse
...to a woman, so that wasn't gay.
Meanwhile, Cockygeezer fucks Pilotbird twice (but I'm only going to
count it once). Fiftiesbird gets chatted up by a man in a nightclub.
And Fiftiesman was a father, so he was presumably straight.
Total so far: Straight 33 Gay 5
Weevilfightclub => I'm surprised you didn't mention the definite sexual
tension between Owen and Evilestateagent. If that wasn't homoerotic
subtext, I don't know what was!
Total so far: Straight 33 Gay 6
>> Captainjackdosecaptainjack => Title self explanatory,
>> Jack does Jack.
Meanwhile, three or four men lust after Toshiko. Youngpilotbloke and
Brunette Fortiesbird are in love with each other. And Blonde
Fortiesbird is secretly in love with Fortiesjack.
Total so far: Straight 38 Gay 6
>> Opencrack => Captain Jack kisses Closetgay once again,
>> Welshbirdsfuckmate shows his arse once again.
And once again his arse was shown in a completely non-homosexual
context. I'm not sure why each time you see his arse you immediately
think of gay sex. It probably says more about you than it does about
him!
Meanwhile, it's Gwen's love for Rhys that leads her to defy Jack, and
her love for Jack that leads her to defy the others.
Total so far: Straight 40 Gay 7.
That's 14.9% gay. Higher than the 6% you claim is the national average.
But then you'd expect a modern, cosmopolitan city to have a higher
percentage of gays than average anyway. I think 14.9% is well within
the acceptable limits of what's expected.

I note no one's challenged this. What the hell *was* that all about
anyway? Some sort of highly significant and suggestive talk about
"what you can do with a stop-watch" and then it's the end of the
episode and no one ever refers to it again (unless it was referred to
in the final two episodes, which I'll be watching on Wednesday).
Now I'll admit that I thought there was some sort of sexual
reference going on there, but I'm buggered (if you'll forgive the
expression) if I can see what, or why. Maybe I'm just not dirty-
minded enough. Maybe they were just boiling an egg.

Solar Penguin seems to always try and find a way to be on the other
side of everyone else, even when it's illogical. He must know what you
just said. Yet for some reason, he jumps in to be the maverick, outside
the box thinker.
Overall on BBC3 the number of 'gay' programmes is at about 10% (which
despite your claims of only 2-3% is the more commonly accepted figure)
Also a quick survey of Doctor Who fans will also give you a much
higher proportion of gay men that the usual demographic. Probably
because it was a TV programme without much overt heterosexuality. Its
not really that surprising its more than a little bit Gay.
What it comes down to really though, is that RTD wrote it, and he's
gay, deal with it. If you want a more hetero programme - you write it.
Until youve show you can produce successful TV series like he has
though, dont expect the rest of us to take much notice of your
opinion.
You could also argue that because there are other programs on BBC3
with no gay presence that would also balance it out
That is just silly.

Sorry hulahoop, he's got you here. (13 episodes) times (3/4 of an hour
per episode) times (60%) is only 5.85 hours.
Of course, Agado's still wrong that there was even as much as 5.85 hours
of gay sex or references to it.

The shots of male arses were put in the for the straight women in the
audience?
Seriously, though - male arses are frequently shown for comedy value.
See Mr Bean, or Spearhead from Space. On the other hand, tit shots are
more commonly put in for titillation. And Rhys' arse was, let's face
it, a bit saggy and not likely to be much of a turn-on.

And yet, when I mentioned that many straight men enjoy anal sex with
women, in response to some idiotic comment from you that RTD is trying
to "promote anal sex" you refused to accept it. Consistency, please.

Do you know anyone, I mean anyone at all, who actually agrees with you
and who hasn't told you to chill? Just wondering.
You have the acumen of a rock. By commenting on your fixation on RTD,
we are NOT defending anything. Rather we find your obvious phobia
somewhat disturbing.
If watching season 2 will turn me (at my age) into a "fully-fledged
mincer" when I have in the past 60 years never expressed the slightest
interest in homosexuality as a lifestyle, then you will have been
right. But I suspect, in fact I know, this will not happen.

I have very strong, very fixed beliefs on what is right and what is
wrong. I stand by those beliefs and will always argue for them. If you
don't like that, then tough.
In this case, I believe Aggie is wrong in every detail of his opinion of
Torchwood. But I also believe he should have the right to watch
Torchwood if he wants, no matter how wrong his opinion of it is.

Well, if he addresses the distribution network and can't get

There must be a broadcast standards board in the UK, much like the CRTC
in Canada and the FAA in the US (at least I seem to recall it's the
FAA). He can try there first. We are not in a position to change this
at all. Basically, he is wasting his time, our time, and he comes off

Oh, I agree he has the right to watch Torchwood just to complain about
it if he wants to. People have the right to sit in a bath of cold porridge
while having rotten tomatoes thrown at them and having their feet tickled
with chicken feathers if they want to. But I have the right to think it's
weird.

It's the FCC - Federal Communications Commission. FAA is the Federal
Aviation Authority. And yes, standards are monitored by OfCom here,
very much like the FCC and CRTC.
Thank you. Common sense!
As for the comments made about the kiss between the Captains at the
time, yes, it could have been a problem. But I have observed a great
degree of pragmatism in people of that generation. Those who lived
through the war tend to have a live and let live attitude that's sadly
lacking in people who haven't had major events through light on what's
really important!
Yes. It was/is brave to stand up for your beliefs in the real world
but this is just a piece of TV drama, Having made his points several
time, Aggie should just stop watching.
WRONG. Just because you think there are homoerotic elements scattered all
over the place doesn't mean they're actually there.
For example, in Everything Changes (laughably referred to by you as
Glovebird), Owen (even more laughably referred to by you as Cockyboy) does
not have a gay kiss. A (heterosexual) woman's (heterosexual) boyfriend
threatens (heterosexual) Owen who sprays the boyfriend to get out of an
awkward situation.
If you're seeing homoeroticism there, you're clearly one fucked up
individual.

OK. You've watched every episode. If you weren't gay before the series
started, you must be by now.
I've already given you an example of rams. 1 in 10 rams are gay. In other
words, the same prevalence as for the human population. So how are rams
converted to being gay?

I'm saying nothing. I just quoted a story. And you've reached the wrong
conclusion. Farmers are saying that 1 in 10 rams are gay. They don't *want*
gay rams - it affects their productivity. It's got sod all to do with the
environment. It's simply that 1 in 10 rams would rather mate with a ram
instead of a sheep. They are gay.

A gay man is not turned on by pictures of naked women - he's turned on by
naked men. A gay ram is not turned on by sheep - he's turned on by other
rams.
Torchwood is been promoted as a science fiction show not as a gay show. If
Gayvies wants to make a show about gays let him keep it out of the Doctor
Who franchise. The majority of Doctor Who fans are straight or don't want
and kind of sex portrayed on the show and that is over 99%.

No they don't. Most people I know want to have a holiday. They want to have

I think I saw some Bluetits in the Fairy Story.
No, just the series itself (except for the last two episodes, which I'll see
tomorrow). If it's not in the series itself, then it doesn't exist.

Forgive me for doubting you, but were those his exact words?
Not that t matters anyway. He could have made them all Venusian chuggle-
huggers (a kind of alien plant that reproduces by sporing every full moon),
but unless he put something in the series to *show* that they're
Venusian chugglehuggers, it doesn't count.
Diane L.
The actual word used was "playmate" I think.
I have to begrudgingly agree with Agatha again. RTD was interviewed on
something and he did say that they were either homosexual or bisexual and
that there would be "lots of same sex kissing".
And statements like that do make you wonder where his head is. Why doesn't
he just go away and write another series of Queer As Folk?

If you are going to count flirting Jack also flirts with Closetgay when he
introduces him in episode 1 Golovebird. So thats one more gay act to add to
your gay count.

The term Jap is no racially offensive and was used in reference to Japbird

Wrong. The relationship between Japbird and Lesbalien took up the majority
of the episode and outweighs everything else since it was used to
proselytise.
Keeping your own straight count its Straight 25, Gay 5 so far.

Rubbish. It was homoerotic for male viewers so you can count it both ways if
you like. You also failed to count Welshbirdsfuckmate's arse in the
Fuckbuddies episode.

If you are going to add that then I will add the gay hand touching, and
Captain Jacks comment to Japbird that Jack Harkness was nice stuff, or
somthing like that.
>

WRONG
Straight 42, Gay 12 counting the two bum scenes as two for both sides,
Captain Jacks gay comment to Japbird and the hand touching.
On top of that there is the homoerotic scene of Cockyboy's chest in
Fuckbuddies, which was not balanced out by the inclusion of naked scene of
Pilotbird's midriff. So count that both was, one for the gays one for the
straights.
Straight 43, Gay 13

WRONG. 7 gay acts should have been balanced out by 109.7 straight acts, but
in fact it was 13 gay acts compared to 43 straight acts or 23.2% which is
nearly four times more prevalent than the number of gays in society. 13 gay
acts should have been balanced out by 204 straight acts so Torchwood is 161
straight acts short and is clearly being used to proselytise homosexuality.
Torchwood is being sold as a science fiction show not as a gay show so you
can't do that. Its not RTG's Fresh Prince only with gays.
And a science fiction show is what we got.

How do you know this? Have you polled them all?
It was used as an offensive term in "Captain Jack Harkness." The woman
who used it was trying to be insulting to Tosh.

I'm only counting significant flirting. That 'looks nice in a suit'

It's still an act of _heterosexual_ perversion, so it should count.

It was used in the episode to show how racist 1940s attitudes were.

No. Most transvestites are heterosexuals.

It's a reference to the incident with the stopwatch that you've already
counted. You can't count the same incident twice! (

Because arses on their own aren't sexual. It's what you do with them
that counts.

If I'm going to add major significant plot points, you're going to add
minor throwawy references to events that have already been counted in
other episodes?
Ok then, maybe I should count _every_ scene where Gwen and Rhys are
together?

Chests and midriffs on their own aren't sexual. It's what you do with
them that counts. If a man shows off his chest to a woman, that's
straight not gay!

The use of a word in an offensive context doesn't make the word itself
offensive. I remember when 'Gay' meant brightly coloured, before it
became a 'badge of honour' and then a sneer. 'Nigger' was once a
sneer, and now it's becoming a 'badge of honour'.
If we become too sensitive to these overtones we're in danger of
letting the language be hijacked by noisy minorities.
An example which makes me see red at the moment is the abuse of the
word 'Organic' by the food industry. The covert suggestion that other
foods are not 'organic' amounts to a propagation of ignorance.

I haven't had the patience to sit down and watch an entire
"Declassified", but there is an interesting interview with RTD here:
http://www.afterelton.com/TV/2006/10/torchwood.html
in which he states his intention of making Torchwood about characters
that cannot be defined by their sexuality. A relevant quote is:
"Without making it political or dull, this is going to be a very
bisexual programme. I want to knock down the barriers so we can't
define which of the characters is gay. We need to start mixing things
up, rather than thinking, 'This is a gay character and he'll only ever
go off with men.'"
