I must admit that I haven't given the sexual orientation of the characters you've mentioned and their respective fates much thought, but when you set it out like this...it doesn't look too good, does it?

I have enjoyed the darker Torchwood but I know what you mean about lazy writing; you know that I'm not RTD's biggest fan and I can totally see him choosing to kill of Ianto while in some OTT 'impact' frenzy.
