I like this comment and also comments by 'psionycx' at AfterElton.com. However, there are some trolly people over there who keep blabbing about how RTD doesn't 'owe anything to the gays' and seriously we should all chill out, etc. Quite disappointing to see that at a GAY website, of all places.

I saw that. Trolly people, yes, but that's inevitable as anyone can comment on public sites, After Elton included.

But, what do I know? I'm just a stupid fangirl who was there only to watch pretty boys!

Strange then that the gay community isn't very happy with what CoE turned out to be.

Russell should really stop thinking he is "the only gay in the village". He doesn't have the exclusive monopoly at being gay.

You don't need to be gay or straight to see things as they really are. It's so evident what CoE did - no more same sex relationship. I really don't know how thay can deny it wasn't done on purpose.

Now Torchwood is doomed, because either Jack is coming back with a female love interest (Gwen, anyone?) and that would be the confirmation that Ianto was eliminated to go mainstream without the "too-much-to-stomach" gay element or Jack will have another male lover, a Ianto.2, and that would be even worse.
