2 quick questions-is it unrealistic to have most of my characters being LGBT+? Personally, I'm ace and most of my friends are LGBT+ but a few people have told me that it's strange to have so many characters be a minority group. Second, I have a bi female character who eventually settles down with a man, and I'm worried that this might be taken as erasure of her sexuality? I want to show that bi people are valid, no matter what gender they date. Thoughts?

its not strange for large groups (or what may seem like a large group to nonqueer people) to form of any minority. that's like saying it's weird for a story to have cast of predominantly characters of color

having a bi woman settle down with a man isnt erasure. it'd be erasure if her attraction to women was erased, no thoughts no feelings no desires. bi is bi is bi, as i said in an earlier post

I’d like for the local queer community group I’m in to stop Incorporating the word gay into all of their event titles. You’d think they would realise the title Gayrack ride would be a bit much, but Thankgayving is in my opinion so much worse.

Does anyone know of any queer crochet groups or meet ups in the city? I went into a real cute yarn shop yesterday and now I have the crochet itch again, ugh. I just thought it would be fun if there was a group to work with and chat with and share patterns and tips.
