The other day someone showed me a newspaper with an article about Star Trek, and the accompanying photo was a realistic painting of a topless Kirk and Spock holding each other (not as good as the one where they’re eating breakfast, but I guess that didn’t make it to print).
I’m going to presume the paper was the Inquirer, and I have to ask - why is the paper so, ahem, hard up for homosexuality in fantasy fiction?
