beccaelizabethI read GDL's answer to an interview question and rather liked it:

Q: Everyone seems to be bisexual on the team. Is that because Capt. Jack picked the team based on that type of person he is or is it more because of his uncanny ability to seduce just about anybody?
A: I don't think it's accutely Capt. Jack's fault, I think it's Torchwood itself. Because there's only a certain amount of people who know what you do, only four or five other people who know everything about you. It's like this...it's underground, it's like this hot, tense atmosphere where people are put together everyday and I think it just leaves people feeling sexy...it's the excitement of being [there] and having to keep all the secrets from [everybody else that] helps them form relationships. Within Torchwood, it's more personal than it would be if you were working in some office down the road.
Be: I like the answer because it just takes sexuality, sexual identity, out of the equation. He's not saying "oh yes, we're all bisexual", he's skipping that part and getting straight to why that particular set of people care about each other and fit together. Only five other people know everything about you... so, they fit. The plumbing is not important to the answer.
Cool.
