Kind of appropriate in a week when the actor who plays one of the most pansexual characters ever [John Barrowman: Captain Jack Harkness. Dr Who & Torchwood] took advantage of the US Supreme Court decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8, and married his lover of 20 years, Scott Gill.
Sick of politics? Fed up with leakers and protestors and all that important and serious stuff?? Well believe it or not, we get that way too, sometimes. So this week The Rainbow Report kicks back with an exploration into the world of SciFi, Gaming, Fantasy and Roleplay
Helping us explore tonight, entertainer, proud gay geek, scifi fan and entertainer Dean Arcuri, game designer Luke Miller, creator of My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant, keen gamers our very own gayby Todd TJ Coleman and his bisexual partner Kezza, cohost and self-confessed Difficult Nerd James Newburrie, and scifi reader and from-the-first-ep Whovian, yes, that’s me, your host, Doug Pollard.
This week it’s OzComicCon in Melbourne organiser Carissa Avenhouse will bring us up to date with the latest.
Is it all just fantasy and escape, is it a welcoming world, just a waste of time, or can we learn from it all?
And just how gay is the world of fantasy, escape and games. Here’s a few gay characters for your delectation – can you come up with more?
