Utterly amazing list, yes. Wow. I want to go find all of them right now.
Is that not one of the best lines ever? ..."It will not only turn you a little queer, it will make you want to go to Cardiff. Which is really perverted." Hee! (Hey, watch it, my ancestors were from there.)
Agreed, some of the good stuff was left out. How could someone think of doing a queer SF overview and leave out Bradley? And, along with McIntyre, John Varley? Any one of them could turn you queer for a lot longer than a nanosecond!
But what a great title, too. Makes me almost forget about the insipid cover story on Out magazine a year or more ago featuring Jamie Bamber, which talked vapidly about how there's nothing gay about sci fi. Excuse me, sci fi is how I first realized that het isn't all there actually is, despite what people around me wanted to think, and sci fi has sustained this flame in me ever since! (Age seven, in case there was a question.)
Didn't you like the description of Torchwood: all-bisexual, all the time characters. Hee!

Thank you -- you made my night!
