I live in Japan, and I love Good Omens. Some months ago, out of love and respect for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, I made a GO pin to celebrate that we are all "ineffable beings."
When I posted the pin on X, someone claiming to be a Good Omens fan questioned me the "rightfullness to use Good Omens as a method to express particular ideology."
My reply was "Good Omens that recoils from raising the voice for LGBTQIA+ is not the Good Omens I know." Having seen so many wonderful GO fanworks and cosplays that encouraged LGBTQIA+ movements, being inspired by the book and drama, her accusation completely took me by surprise.
We communicated several times, I replied and explained as much as I could, but I don't think my intention was understood to the end. I was sad, upset, and miserable.
Then unexpectedly, my answer to her reaction got spread. People who saw the inital post told me they loved the pin and supported my idea. Even people outside the GO fandom encouraged me.
This whole story seemed rather suggestive and quite Good Omens, and I thought it would be nice to share with you.
Happy Pride Month.
