Sexuality In The Twelve Colonies (RDM)/Jp:12コロニーのセクシャリティー (新シリーズ)

オリジナル・シリーズの性描写についてはSexuality in Battlestar Galactica (TOS)を参照のこと。

新シリーズと前日談、カプリカ、で描かれるセクシャリティーは、現実世界の鏡であり、いいかえるとヘテロ、ホモ、バイセクシャルな関係は存在します。

マイケル・テイラーのコメントによると、「コロニアルはヘテロとホモセクシャルの嗜好の違いを重要視しない。これを尊重すれば、少なくとも、彼らは私達よりも少しだけ進んでいる。」

ヘテロセクシャル

ウィリアム・アダマとジェイシー・マクギャビン in coitus (Razor Flashbacks).

  • ガイアス・バルターと彼が口説き落とした様々な女性。Sherry Bennett、カプリカ・シックス、Gina Inviere、ナンバー３、カーラ・トレイス、トーリ・フォスター、Playa Palacios、ミニシリーズの謎の女性。バルターとバーチャル・シックスとの関係は形容し難いが、明らかに姓的な要素を含んでいる。
  • エレン・タイはソウル・タイと結婚中に様々な男性と関係を持っている (Miniseries, "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down", "Occupation", "Precipice")

ホモセクシャル

シリーズ中のホモセクシャルは"Razor"ではっきりと示されている。ヘレナ・ケインとGina Inviereはレズビアンな関係である。

ケインとInviereの関係はペガサスの乗員にとって驚くことではない。Kendra Shawは少しショックだったようだが、それはケインにも頼る人が必要だったことに対してである。Jurgen Belzenとジャック・フィスクはスコーピオン造船所の攻落後のフォーマルなディナーの席で２人の関係に驚いたり不快に思ったりはしていないように見える。「ケインとGinaの同性同士の関係は大した問題ではない。」というマイケル・テイラーのコメントの通りである (Razor)。

Sam Adama casually mentions to his nephew William Adama that he used to try to flirt with men in a district the two are visiting (Rebirth). Sam's marriage to Larry, taken with his status as an enforcer for the Ha'la'tha, suggests homosexuality is not seen as in conflict with traditional masculine roles and attitudes.

バイセクシャル

Caprica-Six, Three and Baltar sleeping (Hero).

Bisexuality has not been seen until "Hero", with the culmination of a ménage à trois between Caprica Six, Number Three, and Gaius Baltar. It is uncertain how this is viewed in Colonial society, but since it is apparent that the Cylons model their behavior after their human creators, it is more than likely that sexual acts involving multiple partners is derived from Colonials.

また、Gina Inviereはヘレナ・ケインと（後に）ガイアス・バルターと関係を持っていたのでバイセクシャルとも思われる。しかし、バルターとの関係はペガサスでの拷問で複数の人間に侵されたため精神的な傷のためである。

WEBスピンオフThe Face of the Enemyではフェリックス・ゲイタとロイス・ホシの関係が明かされる。また、ニュー・カプリカの回想ではナンバー３と関係を持っていた。Gaeta's sexuality had been teased early on behind the scenes, notably with the Season 3 gag reel where Alessandro Juliani attempts to hit on a marine protecting James Callis's Gaius Baltar, and later appears to be having a sexual dream about "Gaius".

ロナルド・Ｄ・ムーアのインタビューでの発言ではカプリカ・シックスとInviereのバイセクシャリティーはシックスの全てのコピーがそうなのか、１２モデルのサイロンが全てそうなのかはわからない。「我々はサイロンは全て基本的にはバイセクシャルだと討論している。１２モデルには性別の役割というもの存在しない。このアイデアは用いられていないので公式な設定となるか分からないが、このような話もあった。一部のシックスについては、ケイン提督と関係を持っていたシックスは登場したが、これが全てのシックス・モデルに当てはまるかという深い疑問は、シリーズ中で扱っていない。」

Moore also said that "We’re in the process now of starting to think about what Caprica the series will be and what the storylines are and it is something that we’re talking about in our sort of nascent writers’ room where we have some people together and we’re just talking about what it could be and we are talking about it as an active thing, like okay, how can we work in gay, lesbian and bisexual storylines into this and that – it’s just not there yet, but it is part of the discussion."

Inter-racial and Inter-species

Inter-racial/ethnic

Although there are periodic mentions of prejudice between the quasi-castes of different colonies, no dialogue has indicated any taboo among Colonials regarding relationships between humans of different [real-world] ethnic or racial groups, nor even an acknowledgement of real-world ethnicity; each of the twelve colonies appears to be composed of a mixture of real-world human ethnicities.

In addition to the many inter-racial and inter-ethnic relationships not resulting in marriage (well, confirmed marriage), a full one half of the post-apocalypse marriages depicted are between spouses of different real-world races: African Anastasia Dualla and Caucasian Leland Adama, and Korean Sharon Agathon (née Eight) and Caucasian Karl Agathon (cf Kara Thrace and Samuel Anders, and Callandra Tyrol (née Henderson) and Galen Tyrol [all four appear predominantly Caucasian]). Moreover, interbreeding between what would be real-world Caucasians and East Asians is presumably so commonplace that Dr. Cottle had a still-born Eurasian infant readilly available, to secretly switch with Hera Agathon on President Roslin's order.

Inter-species

Humans and humanoid Cylons can and frequently do engage in consensual sexual intercourse. Relationships between humans and Cylons are viewed negatively by those who see Cylons as nonpersons, a viewpoint which becomes less and less common.

• Ellen Tigh and various men
• Simon O'Neill and Giana O'Neill
• Caprica-Six and Gaius Baltar
• Gina Inviere and Helena Cain
• Sharon Agathon and Karl Agathon
• Samuel Anders and Kara Thrace
• Gina Inviere and Gaius Baltar
• Galen Tyrol and Cally Tyrol
• A Number Eight copy and Felix Gaeta
• A Number Three copy and Gaius Baltar
• Tory Foster and Gaius Baltar
• Lida and Gaius Baltar

Cylon Simon and human Giana O'Neill were married before the apocalypse, with Giana unaware of her husband's Cylon nature but Simon well aware. Three of the four post-apocalypse marriages depicted are between humans and Cylons: Cylon Sharon Agathon and human Karl Agathon, human Kara Thrace and Cylon Samuel Anders, and human Callandra Tyrol (née Henderson) and Cylon Galen Tyrol. Of the three, the Agathons were the only marriage entered into while both (or either) spouse was consciously aware that one was a Cylon. The only post-apocalypse marriage shown between humans is that of Anastasia Dualla and Leland Adama. The only pre-apocalypse marriage depicted as surviving both the Cylons and Adm. Cain is that between Final Five Cylons Ellen Tigh and Saul Tigh.

Practices

Multiple real-world coitus positions have been depicted, including female superior (a.k.a. "cowgirl") and the so-called missionary position

Heterosexual fellatio among Colonials is implied by Laura Roslin's statement to Tory Foster, "I don't really care if you have to spend the night on your knees praying, or just on your knees. I want a name." ("Guess What's Coming to Dinner?")

Other notes

• The religious controversy surrounding Rya Kibby's abortion suggest that the Colonial faith (or the Gemenese interpretation thereof) contains doctrine pertaining to sexuality, possibly in a similar fashion to many real world religions (The Captain's Hand).

• The presence of child prostitution under Phelan's black market indicates the presence of pedophilia within Colonial society. The practice of child prostitution is viewed with loathing disdain by Colonials such as Lee Adama, who ultimately kills Phelan after discovering this practice aboard Prometheus (Black Market).

• Prostitution is legal in Colonial society, with consenting adult women such as Shevon offering their services to adult men such as Lee Adama (Black Market). This fact is a nod to the socialator practices touched upon in the Original Series. However, prostitution is not considered respectable, as Tom Zarek and Major Adama's conversation shows.

• In addition, the Colonials have pornographic material like Nymph magazine (Scar), although it is uncertain whether or not pornography is viewed in the same controversial light as it is in America and some other cultures.

• The spines of some humanoid Cylons have been seen to emit a red glow during copulation. It is unclear whether or not this is visible to the human eye and could be used to detect Cylons. Nevertheless the real-world metaphorical use of the term "glowing" is used by Colonials to describe women sexually satisfied and/or in love.

• Marriage and engagement are practiced by the humans of the Twelve Colonies, and were practiced by the Cylons of the Thirteenth Tribe on Earth. In the Colonies, marriage vows are considered sacred oaths. Women generally take their husbands' surnames, but not always. Men do not change their name, except in the group marriage example noted below. There is no evidence of any similar practice to marriage among the modern Cylons, though two of them got married to humans.

• Marriages between more than two people have been shown to be legal on Caprica, though unusual. Upon learning that Clarice Willow is part of a group marriage, Lacy Rand is surprised but accepting and mentions knowing classmates who are children of group marriages. The Willow family surname comes from Desiree Willow.
