[quote=Anonymous]I'm a straight, cisgender writer and I'm including LGBT couples in a novel I'm writing - the main "romance" in my story is between two women. There are also some transgender characters and gay males. I should note that this is set in a medieval-like fantasy world, but without medieval prejudices. I really want to portray LGBT romance respectfully and well. A common complaint I've heard about LGBT romance novels is that LGBT people don't always want to read about "coming out of the closet" angst and identity angst - they want to read about LGBT characters who are fully present with themselves and comfortable with themselves. I was wondering if there are any other "dos" and "don'ts" about LGBT romance portrayals that you expect to see in novels. Any pet peeves that you never want to see again? What offends you or makes you roll your eyes or doesn't ring true for you? Any feedback at all would be appreciated. Thank you![/quote]
