More (Queer) Torchwood Stuff
Jul. 17th, 2009 02:41 pmAs most of Torchwood fandom knows, there have been quite a few brouhahas regarding LGBT representation and homophobia in the show.
Especially with ad hominem attacks towards James Moran and Russel T. Davies... seriously, seriously bad form people.
I'd sic Captain Hook on your asses for that.
I have lots to write regarding the queer issues on the show and will very likely write about at a later point.
A Doctor Who/Torchwood fan radio podcast show called Radio Free Skaro (How is it that I never knew about this!?) had a special panel with three LGBT fans and regular listeners who replaced the regular panellists (three straight chaps) to talk about LGBT representation and Homophobia.
It's a very interesting discussion. I agree with much was said and it was much fun to listen to three queers discuss Torchwood.
Here is the direct download to this special called: The Wednesday Cutaway.
The podcast Contains spoilers to Torchwood: Children of Earth and the over all world of New!Who and Torchwood.
No doubt not everyone will agree with what was said. I didn't agree with everything. But the main point of this podcast was to actually discuss, rationally and with respect to the show and the writers, the issues that rose from the this particular mini-series. Because it's very likely that TW:CoE was viewed by many outside the rest of the Torchwood arc, which is something that hadn't actually occurred to me.
I am very self-centred... much like Gwen :P
