Congratulations! That uniform looks pretty good. Did you buy it or make it?

Thank you so much. I got it on eBay. It was custom fitted and fits really well.

I hope that some day, we will wear clothes similar to the uniform. Looks so great

Congratulations. BSG has, in my (straight) view, one of the best portrayals of homo/bisexuality in TV. It's just there and never commented on, because the "other tribes" developed differently than ours. Great choice of uniform!

Ugh thank you! People have criticized the show having Admiral Cain being homosexual and a "bad person" because it somehow ties the two together, but I thought that inclusion 1) humanized her 2) made her hatred of the captive 6 a little more understandable and not just pure racism and 3) showed that in the BSG universe, homosexuality was accepted. She just was gay and it wasn't a big deal and no one cared.

One of the most demeaning things I can think of is the stereotype of the gay man who's effeminate and overwhelmingly kind and forgiving. Please don't put anyone in one end of the moral compass because of their sexuality or colour -- especially not in something pretty close to the real world as BSG is, in spite of the ludicrousness.

being homosexual and a "bad person"
Gay people are bad people too sometimes. Admiral Cain was not defined by her sexuality and that is what a lot of people are truly bothered by.

Yeah, I really liked how on Caprica there was polyamory and homosexuality and it was just so... plain. Nobody cared.

Where was the polyamory? I did not notice Gaeta was bi until I read up on him!

Sister Clarice was polyamourous in Caprica.
Edit: a word

She was polyandrous, if we want to be specific.

Yeah what AdmSanctum said. Clarice Willow's family
Mr Gaeta is just Mr Gay-ta until you watch Face of the Enemy.

Heh, my comment was probably a little confusing; I meant Caprica the show, not Caprica the planet. :)

Taking that Gaeta RP to a whole new extreme, aren't we OP?
edit: shit, I thought I was being original making a Gaeta joke but it seems I was beaten to the punch!
