Characters (Writing)

It’s rather odd in an article about how gender and sexual orientation shouldn’t matter, we’re asked to examine how they do matter, but I’m with the author on the fact that they shouldn’t. I’ve been dinged before for having a random gay character in a scene. I wanted to set the image of “that’s not important to this society,” but she proved too much of a distraction and hit the cutting room floor. This article looks at all the ways we use gender to define, and how that affects homosexuality as well. It’s worth the time to read.
