Why are half of the ments on pag that even MENTION gay characters jt explicly homophobic. Most, even mimal statistics, suggt that about 4% of people intify as openly gay, lbian, or bi, and this don't nsir all the people who are the closet or jt choose not to intify- those people would be open the Wgs of Fire world where there don't seem to be any homophobia or transphobia. Anemar appears out of nowhere (asi om them clearly beg iends; hangg out even outsi of their v), Umber is an adult and Qibli is a child (which is a disgtg stereotype for beg the first gay character to appear), and Foxflake ends (potentially) wh the "Bury Your Gays" trope, as Snowflake is btally jured (although, the fact that Snowfox has a dghter who didn't rry anim powers impli that her dghter was adopted, therefor makg her and Snowflake's relatnship potentially not endg tragedy).
Not for homophob bee of gay dragons startg the 10th book wh jt csh on the same genr all the way to book 13 where there’s a gay dragon. All I know is that Umber is gay, Anenome is lbian and Bur and Silverspot om Book 11 are a lbian uple. And one day my dghter burst to my office to exclaim wh glee that there were “gay dragons” the story, fe.
I'll start wh Umber, who's nfirmed to be gay. It’s like if someone were to get mad about Anemone beg lbian, or Qibli makg gay jok...

I’d be pletely appalled if homosexualy mak book 13 unreadable for some people. Morn terms such as "gay", "homosexual", or "LGBT" do not appear the novels. For that matter, is as yet unclear if "homosexuals" are even nsired a nceptual tegory of persons Wteros and beyond, given that this nceptual tegory did not actually exist the real-wolrd Middle Ag.
1 Homosexualy real-life Medieval Europe.
Numero characters have engaged homosexual behavr or exprsed sir for characters of the same genr:.
