I didn’t survive the deaths of 90% of my community to give you this world you enjoy now just so you could spit on their graves

do it now

queer is beautiful

I’m a bisexual writer. I love writing, and I’ve stopped *trying* to make more of my characters straight. The novel that I’m currently working on has a bi main character, her (on and off) lover who is a lesbian, her best friend who is gay and his boyfriend, and possibly some others to come in the later books. My plan has always to end the book with the death of my MC, because it’s where her character would be going, for a lot of reasons and because of the *final battle*

After everything that’s happened in the last month with Lexa and the other queer deaths, I’ve chosen to change that. My characters weren’t going to get a traditional “happy ending” because that’s what I thought it needed, but WE need happy endings for queer people more than anything. My MC isn’t going to die, and her girlfriend isn’t going to have to deal with the fallout, and her best friend isn’t going to lose her, and he’s going to finally be able to be with his boyfriend. My queer characters are getting their happy ending because if I, a queer person, don’t give it to them, straight people certainly aren’t. 

Thank you, Lexa, for being a symbol for us all.
