Billions of miles from civilisation, and on the edge of infinity, the crew face insurmountable threats, meet unspeakable villains, and generally get on each others’ nerves.

Oh, and that war may be closer than Falconer thinks…

FAQ

This project seeks to highlight digital media with LGBTQ+ representation and content.

This Tumblr shows the ongoing effort of OOTS to update it’s queer digital media list here. Posting it on Tumblr makes it more accessible to more people, and offers fans the chance to help update the list with information only fans would know about these shows.

These entries are not curated, and the person who runs this account has not consumed all of this media. All art is imperfect, and a variety of stories deserve to be told. There will be a broad range of shows highlighted here, but none actively encourage harmful rhetoric.

If you think a piece of digital media we highlight should not be on our lists, please feel free to send us a message. We reserve the right to make the final judgement call of what we promote.
