When you watch Torchwood there is a warning at the very beginning that some scenes may offend or disturb people, so if you allow your children to sit and watch it with you that’s your responsibility, it’s not ours anymore. We kissed, we held each other, we lay on top of each other in bed… and there were lots of complaints about that. Nobody complained that I was shot in the head four times, there were burning people in ovens, that I was stabbed by a mob of 50 people hundreds of times, and I was hanging dripping my blood in a pit. So that’s what confuses me, because you’re not complaining about gay sex, you’re complaining about two men kissing. And it’s 2011. And people say, “Well why should we have that on television?” Because the BBC have to represent the greater public — and there are gay people out there who pay their television license. For people to complain, that’s your prerogative — but you know what, none of them turned it off! They were just embarrassed because it put them in a position where they had to explain things to their kids or their family which probably should have been explained a long time ago.
John Barrowman.
Barrowman, everyone.
This is why I love him, and why I will always love him.

The fact that people complain about sex, while never complaining about violence is so very revealing about our society.

IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE EXPLAINING “COUNTRYCIDE” AND “CHILDREN OF EARTH” BUT NOT SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS TO YOUR CHILDREN
GET THE ACTUAL FUCK OUT.

This has always been my problem with how films and TV shows are rated and I’m sorry my US friends but America is responsible for a lot of this. You can have two films with same amount of violence depicted but one will have a sex scene and that will be the one rated 18, whereas the film with the same amount of violence but no sex will be rated 12. To me this is the wrong way around.

People will come into my bookstore and do the same thing.
I get way more complaints about our sex manuals than I do about ‘The Anarchist’s Cookbook’ which is basically a terrorism manual.
People need to examine their ‘values’ a little more closely.
Applause for Barrowman.
