An interview with Tori Amos about Abnormally Attracted to Sin.

Polari Magazine talks to Tori Amos about the idea of sin and self-worth, giving a record a good airbrush, and the funny things her daughter Natashya says to her.

Dr Who author David Llewllyn is the guest columnist this month.

David Llewllyn writes about science-fiction, and how it addresses the subject of sexuality.

It’s curious that while non-genre television still tip-toes around the subject of sexuality, sci-fi and fantasy programmes, from Buffy to Torchwood, have tackled it with aplomb. Perhaps this is the Trojan Horse principle in action, and audiences are more willing to accept gay and lesbian characters if they are surrounded by aliens and vampires.

Extra material from an interview with Tori Amos about Abnormally Attracted to Sin.

Polari Magazine talks to Tori Amos about fun she has with the packaging that goes with her albums, and working with Doug Morris.

The Scientology movement and its treatment of homosexuality.

Scientology is busy rewriting its history to appeal to a new generation, which almost makes it a Proper Religion, but its murky past is there to read (and ignore?) in L. Ron Hubbard’s questionable tome Dianetics.

Gay Scientologists have since embarked on the work of reinterpretation. This is how you can tell it has become a Proper Religion: a host of followers pick and choose, then ignore the things they don’t think should apply to them.

Nowadays, it’s all too easy to take an off-the-peg identity. And, indeed, an off-the-peg physique. But musculature can be a form of armour and those of you who haven’t been to the gymnasium have bodies which are more idiosyncratically your own.

Polari Facts looks at the significant question of homosexuality in Sci-Fi.

The first mainstream gay couple were obviously C3-P0 and R2-D2, and Buck Rogers clearly gave birth to a generation of spandex fetishists.

In 1977 Star Wars brought the first mainstream homosexual relationship to the Big Screen. To get around the censors, as well as those pesky Christian Fundamentalists who were getting so noisy at the time, that relationship was between the droids C3-P0 and R2-D2.
