That’s one heck of a Torchwood Cosplay Group. I know I know, not technically Doctor Who, but I thought it was awesome and thus here it is. Plus 10 somehow managed to sneak into the picture.
“John: “What’s really great about it,” he says, “And I’m going to be selfish here, is the relationship that we created between Jack and Ianto. The writing on the show changed history quite a bit. Because here were two people who were quite unapologetic about the relationship that they were in together, but also that it wasn’t an easy relationship. The audience hadn’t seen that at the time - two men together was always seen as being a bit of a no-no. But Russell [T Davies] just didn’t want to apologise for people’s sexuality. Ianto was the same - when he’s talking about Jack to his sister and he says, ‘I just like him because of who he is.’ It was a really important thing to say. In life you’re not defined by what you do in the bedroom, you’re defined by who you fall in love with.“ Gareth:“There was never an episode about them being in a same-sex relationship. It was just a relationship that was in a sci-fi show.” John: “It changed things in the States. That was massively important to a lot of people - so many people come up to me and say, ‘Thank you.’ And I like to take credit for that, but I have to say, ‘Thank the writers.’” Gareth: “I’m like that with the Shrine. People ask me, ‘What’s it like to have a Shrine?’ Well, it’s not just to me, it’s to everyone who put work into Ianto.” John: *laughs* “Oh, I put a lot in.””

I’m reblogging this because this isn’t seen enough by people.
