Waking up to a golden cadaver; witnessing an astronaut suffocate in space; watching a woman be torn apart by dogs; wincing as a man’s head decompresses… the world of Bond has given many of us nightmares. Perhaps it’s this transgressiveness which makes both Bond and horror films such good (death)bed mates. Callum McKelvie investigates.

Daniel Craig turned heads when he turned up to the No Time To Die premiere wearing a shocking-pink jacket. A statement piece in more ways than one, it was widely hailed as a break with Bond tradition. But the more we look, the more we find that this is hardly Bond’s first time wearing the most ‘feminine’ of shades.

“It might sound strange for an asexual person to be a Bond fan, given that sexual attraction is such a big part of the character’s world…” Fenna Geelhoed sets asexual representation in her sights and targets the best and worst examples from the Bond series.

Bond asking Tracy to marry him is one of the most rapturously romantic scenes in cinema history. Its modesty and gender equality subvert what we expect from a traditional marriage proposal. Without me realising until now, I think it may have influenced my own…

In the dark days of my early twenties, I fell out of love with Bond and poor Batman had to shoulder the responsibility of being my queer role model. Now that I’m nearly 40, staring down like a brooding gargoyle at my impending birthday, I’m wondering where the Batman and Bond influences end and the real me begins?

Bond’s bed-hopping him more in sync with gay men than straight men - or so the stereotypes would have us believe. Sam Rogers takes a candid and funny look back over his love life to date, drawing parallels with Bond’s.

Thank you to everyone - women, men, non-binary persons, animals - who took part in the second annual International Jim Fanning Friday. Here is the collage of all the selfies and the art work created especially.

After a recent article erroneously claimed that Ben Whishaw’s Q was the first LGBTQ+ character in Bond, Calvin Dyson and I met up to set the record not-so-straight.

Have we gone mad?! The second International #JimFanningFriday is on Friday 25th February. Find out what on earth is going on and relive last year’s event here.

Non-binariness is baked into the very DNA of Die Another Day and not even experimental gene therapy can alter that. Although there are binaries aplenty - a dual mission, fire and ice, a duelling dual showdown over a divided country - the film rejects any earnest attempt to pin it down as one thing or another. Fear contends with desire in a cockfight to the death. Analyse this.

With six articles (and counting) to Sam Rogers' name, exploring a range of subjects (from Bond Girls to Bond video games) I was keen to discuss with Sam if he'd had more thoughts about these subjects in a post-No Time To Die world. We talk about this and much much more, including finding your queer Bond fan tribe and which Sugababes track would make the best Bond song.
