AfterElton posted a new interview with Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D, Moore about his upcoming science fiction TV Series Virtuality, which will feature gay characters as part of the crew of Earth's first starship. Here are excerpts of the article.
"They're a married gay couple and they were just included when we were coming up with the core cast of characters. Michael Taylor and I were talking about it and I think it was his idea and we just - he goes through part of the concept of how that group of astronauts were chosen initially, that they were - it's hard to tell you about without giving away the whole concept of it, but they weren't just a group of astronauts that went through the traditional vetting astronaut process."
"They were all sort of symbols for specific reasons for this particular mission and for almost PR reasons ... they were put on the ship and the [gay couple] sort of struggle with that role of - "Is that the only reason we are here?" kind of thing. But they're professionals in their own right. They have a complicated sort of storyline of what they're willing to show."
Regarding gay characters in Star Trek, Moore said "We've just failed at it. It's not been something we've successfully done. At Star Trek we used to have all these stock answers for why we didn't do it. The truth is it was not really a priority for any of us on the staff so it wasn't really something that was strong on anybody's radar. And then I think there's a certain inertia that you're not used to writing those characters into these dramas and then you just don't. And somebody has to decide that it's important before you do it and I think we're still at the place where that's not yet a common - yeah, we have to include this and this is an important thing to include in the shows. Sci fi for whatever reason is just sort of behind the curve on all this."
