I’m really amused by the argument “You can’t expect straight writers to include LGBT+ characters. They’ve never experienced being LGBT+” 

Because like-

1) JK Rowling was never an 11 year old orphaned wizard boy. Tolkien was never an ELF. This is how writing works.

2) I, a bisexual woman, am perfectly capable of writing straight men? 

Why are you guys such bad writers?

Like, no, maybe you would struggle to write an accurate and realistic portrayal of a trans teens transitioning, or a gay teens experience with homophobia. But you know you don’t HAVE to go super in depth about those things to include LGBT+ characters AT ALL, right? We are more than the bigotry we endure.

  19. potato--justpotato said: All my characters are either super confused by their sexuality (that’s me!) Or gay/bi/pan/something else, because that seems to be how it works IRL, the LGBTQ+ people, even before realizing, seem to just become friends.
