To be clear, lol, I’m not anti Trans, LGBTQ or any of the letters in the alphabet. What feels forced is the ratio of trans/queer/gay subject matter being squeezed to ever orafice at every turn.

‘Meet Paul. Paul plays guitar, has a delivery business, and also likes his balls played with at climax. He has two dogs, a sailboat, and is a big fan of anal beads.”


Somethings, can be left out of the above sentence, and you still know Paul well enough. In a story, you may want to know where Paul is going, and what Paul needs. Does Paul accomplish his quest?

When you make up less that 2% of the population, but have 1 in 3 new characters labeled by their sexuality, or stories concerning their sexuality, it serves no real purpose than flag waving.

Anderson Cooper is Gay, right? But that’s a footnote to who he is. He’s the face of CNN, but also a rich kid, he’s opinionated, but often reserved. He’s a multitude of things that make him well rounded.

He doesn’t flag wave, as most of us don’t, unless you’re on Twitter, of course. and lately, that’s all anyone is doing. It reminds me of the 90’s when the fat kid was known as the fat kid. Nothing more, maybe funny, maybe shy, but just the fat kid. It’s boring.

This issue, it’s boring because it’s not about anything. They go to a bar, they go home, they train some kids, the little turtle is sad...TIME TRAVEL.

F. Maybe -F.

Also, here’s a note - like, if you’re really well read on a subject, and if that subject is scientific, and you understand big ideas, it doesn’t mean that you will innately understand how to fix electrical wiring. Hanging a lampshade on it with the character outright saying they don’t know what they are doing, only compounds the silliness.

More plot less talk.
