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\u2019s your responsibility, it\u2019s not ours anymore. We kissed, we held each other, we lay on top of each other in bed\u2026 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\u2019s what confuses me, because you\u2019re not complaining about gay sex, you\u2019re complaining about two men kissing. And it\u2019s 2011. And people say, \u201cWell why should we have that on television?\u201d Because the BBC have to represent the greater public \u2014 and there are gay people out there who pay their television license. For people to complain, that\u2019s your prerogative \u2014 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Barrowman, everyone.<\/big><\/p>\n

This is why I love him, and why I will always love him.\u00a0<\/big><\/p>\n

The fact that people complain about sex, while never complaining about violence is so very revealing about our society.<\/p>\n

IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE EXPLAINING \u201cCOUNTRYCIDE\u201d AND \u201cCHILDREN OF EARTH\u201d BUT NOT SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS TO YOUR CHILDREN\u00a0<\/p>\n

GET THE ACTUAL FUCK OUT.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This is EXACTLY what my problem was with Abbington when she complained about the presence of homoerotic fanart involving a character played by Martin. It\u2019s WAY easier to find pics of Martin in naked\/hetero scenes, or either of them with a gun, than it is to find Johnlock fanart. Barrowman nails it perfectly: nobody\u2019s complaining about the violence; they\u2019re complaining about the gay. And secondly, it\u2019s no one\u2019s job but a parent\u2019s to control what their kids see. Bless, Barrowman. Bless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

YES YES YES YES YES YES, ALL OF THE ABOVE. My children have asked me about John and Sherlock specifically, because I talk about it so damned much. And I simply say they\u2019re in love and I wish they\u2019d be together. And my children, bless them, have never flinched at the idea of two men being in love. They just agree they should be together if they love each other. We listen to my Johnlock mix of music, and my daughter asked me about certain songs, and I say it just reminds me of them because it\u2019s about two people who really love each other a lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kids should understand that love is love.<\/strong> If you teach them anything else about same sex relationships, it\u2019s planting a seed of bigotry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
