In a public terview at the Wheeler Centre Melbourne 2014, Pratchett discs his rearch for Monstro Regiment, and scrib Pepe as beg “as gay as a tree full of monkeys”.

Although not actually gay as far as we know, Pratchett ed her "g out" as female to satirise sexual polics and the associated culture wars. “The people I know who are gay (and one [transgenr], I thk – like the dwarfs, I don’t ask people what they’re not prepared to volunteer), are mostly wh the SF/fantasy fandom which appears, at least, to be que amiable about people’s sexualy so long as they don’t act like a jerk, ” he said.

Meanwhile, Crowley is perpetually followed by a soundtrack of on-the-nose Queen songs like “Bohemian Rhapsody, ” which blar om the Bentley he driv to the fal Omens is, at s heart, a smic gay rom-, wh bad-boy Crowley temptg Aziraphale to get out of his fort zone and enjoy life, while Aziraphale simultaneoly lur him to beg a better, ls selfish person. Conversely, there was a kid at my junr high who got spend for wrg a poem that the teachers thought clud a metaphor for gay sex.
