Gay people are real. We are in your fandom. We are very happy to be here. We are happy to exist in fandom content in a way we don't often in the original material content. We, and the fictional characters whose lives reflect our own to some small degree, get to have full lives here in a way we don't often get from ABC or NBC or CBS or the BBC or WHATEVER at 8pm and sadly for many of us, in a way we don't always get to have with our families or in our workplaces.
So stop treating us like we're fictional. Like that real gay people are inconveniences or blow-up dolls or just some weird, slightly novel, abstract idea.
It's rude, it's ignorant, and most importantly, it's boring. Knock it off.
As ever, my friend is eloquent and intense about subject.
Also, if you are that person who reads/writes homosexual fanfic but believes homosexuality is immoral? I am going to shoot you in the KNEES.
