Defiance and Sex

Is anyone else watching Defiance? This amazing show with a prostitute as a regular and her place of business NeedWant being a main setting? I love the way the show presents Kenya as a legitimate business woman running a legitimate business. A business that caters to both men and women. And is a good bar on top of everything else and people like the Town Council hang out there.

Which, I'm enjoying just the many, many, casual ways that the show is showing queer characters. I would like them to have some of the main characters being queer, but so many background characters are just casually shown. They could do a lot more here, but what they are doing is more than most shows would.

Oh, and the recent revelation that polygamy is not only perfectly normal it's just as normal for a women to have multiple husbands as it is for a man to have multiple wives.

This show is doing many interesting things and almost all of them are in the background and just accepted as part of the way the world is.
