The Promise of Science-Fiction
Dr Who author David Llewllyn is the guest columnist this month.
David Llewllyn writes about science-fiction, and how it addresses the subject of sexuality.
PermalinkIt’s curious that while non-genre television still tip-toes around the subject of sexuality, sci-fi and fantasy programmes, from Buffy to Torchwood, have tackled it with aplomb. Perhaps this is the Trojan Horse principle in action, and audiences are more willing to accept gay and lesbian characters if they are surrounded by aliens and vampires.
