Doctor Who

The post Every Cast Member Announced For Doctor Who S14 Is Queer And My Joy Is Overwhelming appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

and multi-talented joy  (who just wrapped up a stint in on BROADWAY) was announced as a cast member playing a “major role” in the upcoming season. For those of you who are not acquainted with Jinkx, you’re missing out on a whole world of talent. YouTube is your friend. But to sum up the multitudes of this person in a few words, Jinkx is a non-binary drag queen who is pretty well known in the queer community for their acting, singing and comedy. I have no doubts they’ll slay the out of any role director chooses to give them. The best part of this announcement, however, is that Jinkx will be joining (a Black transwoman) and (a queer Black man). Did you take that in? A non-binary drag queen joining two queer people of colour. In the lordless year of 2023. Iconic. This news has made my day, my month and my entire year. When queer folk ask for representation, we usually receive a slightly queer-coded character who dies after three episodes and is played by a straight actor. Having THREE queer actors (specifically these three) appearing in the next does so much for trans people, non-binary people and other queer people of colour. Finally, queer kids can see themselves truly reflected on screen. White gay men have already appeared all over our media (albeit via poor representation), it’s about time that every member of the queer community had someone that looked like them kicking ass on a major television show. Three diverse actors displaying how brilliant the queer community is? While travelling through TIME? Are you kidding me? This is everything. It’s gay Christmas. I’m so excited to see this diverse range of characters hit my screens. For the first time in my life, I am going to become a fan, watch me. I’m excited to see if Jinkx Monsoon plays the series villain (which would be soooo iconic if they do). We already know that Ncuti is the titular Doctor and Yasmin is his companion Rose, so I’m keen to see how it all plays out. The best part is, we haven’t even seen the full cast yet. There could be more brilliantly queer people waiting for us around the corner. My little gay heart is FLUTTERING, what an exciting time for all of us. Season 14 will arrive in 2024 on the BBC for UK folks and Disney+ for everyone else.
