Why would Narishma be a good gay character? darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/01/2013 08:18:35 PM
Personally I thought making Ethenielle's Sword Bearer gay fit perfectly into why she hadn't married him without being "token".

I never thought there needed to be an overt statement about there being homosexual men in the series. Seemed rather obvious that with all the lesbians that there would be gay men as well. I was always more bothered by the vilification of most of the lesbian characters in the books. The two women who were the most overt lesbians were Galina and Elaida ... I'm fairly certain lesbians aren't all mean as snakes.

That you're offended at gay people for having the temerity to exist is hilarious. Ghavrel - 13/01/2013 12:15:48 PM 1295 Views
Nothing she said indicated that; she only objected to throwaway characters for the sake of gayness. Joel - 14/01/2013 06:01:36 PM 1053 Views
Just like the Sea Folk having dark skin is tokenism. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/01/2013 07:33:15 AM 593 Views

That you jump to the conclusion that I'm offended by gay characters is both laugable and sad... lilltempest - 14/01/2013 06:06:30 PM 1100 Views

Culture plays a role in how people see homosexuals, not in there being homosexuals darius_sedai - 15/01/2013 10:50:14 PM 1079 Views
I didn't say anything about that. I said that culture plays a role in determining sexual expression. Ghavrel - 16/01/2013 02:17:45 AM 1088 Views
I think we will have to agree to disagree ... People are born the way they are darius_sedai - 16/01/2013 04:21:33 AM 1023 Views
