From Jack Twist to Captain Jack Harkness

While Brokeback Mountain will always be a milestone in my journey as a gay man, I am now also fascinated with Torchwood, where an openly gay actor (John Barrowman) portrays a post-labels (gay/bisexual/omnisexual/pansexual) hero (Captain Jack Harkness) who regularly saves the Earth. Others have made this connection before - I don't claim any unique or exclusive perspective. But it means I will now be including commentary and links on all things Torchwood in addition to following Brokeback Mountain's ongoing influence in popular culture.

Wish me luck in this new direction!
