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.

Let’s raise a glass (containing a new cocktail created in her honour) to Mary Goodnight, one of the most misunderstood Bond girls and a truly relatable gay icon.

Richard Chopping’s striking covers for Fleming’s Bond books helped them to stand out, significantly contributing to their popularity. Chopping was a gay man who became one of the first people in the country to enter into a civil partnership. Jordan Welsh turns the pages on his extraordinary life.

Matt Carter’s first film as a 22 year old director was a gay James Bond film. His soon-to-be-released feature is a love story between two rugby players, based on his personal experiences. I spoke with him about what draws him to stories set in stereotypically hypermasculine, straight male contexts and how gay cinema needs to move beyond telling coming out tales.

In 1955’s Moonraker, Bond gets mixed up in police business at a time when it was ill-advised for gay men to do so.

Following No Time To Die, all bets are off. But is the world ready for a gay James Bond? Affectionate parody Jayson Bend: Queen and Country shows how it may not be such a far-fetched idea after all.

Growing up in rural France, Jill created a James Bond persona to try to process his gender dysphoria. Now out as a trans gay man, living and working in London, Jill attended the premiere of No Time To Die and has been processing his feelings about the film ever since. We talked about why James Bond means so much to us as queer people, why we see things others overlook and how our partners accommodate our Bond obsessions.

James Bond is dead! But only in a literal sense. With classical parallels aplenty, No Time To Die secures Bond’s place in the pantheon of queer heroes, making a myth out of 007 by turning him into a being we recognise as human - whoever we might be.

Friend of Licence To Queer, Edward Biddulph (author of Licence To Cook) takes us on a guided tour through the somewhat gluttonous Goldfinger. Be warned: the multifarious delights are mouthwatering and sometimes messy. Better bring the napkins.
