No, not in favour of the cat. Spartans just really amuse me for some reason and I like to throw them out there whenever possible. Not just the juxtaposition, I am amused by Spartans all by their lonesome. Which is really weird now that I think about it. Anyway...

Am I the only one that absolutely loves that the introduction of Captain Jack Harkness ends the ability of Whovians to categorise by by sexuality? As if it could do anything but?

On a purely technical level we could have an LGBT individuals category as long as we put in people who self-identified as LGBT. Which unless I'm mistaken is Ianto Jones and that's it, no? The uselessness of this category is mainly defined by the fact that we really don't have anyone to put in it. In the Doctor Who universe LGBT is only a definition for a small portion of time and given that the Whoniverse encompasses all of time and space it's a bit silly. The category people with unusual taste in hats would be more useful than this would. And this is coming from someone who tends to be more in favour of small cats that don't really add anything than anyone else but even I can't see the purpose of this one, especially as it lends itself to so much confusion and abuse.

Not trying to restart a discussion that's already taken place but felt I should probably clarify my views on this.
