Brandon sanderson gay

Over the years, through interaction with wonderfully patient members of the LGBTQ+ community, I think I’ve come a long way. To not represent that in my fiction would be something deeply immoral. I acknowledged that in my post above, and I appreciate the work it takes for a person to grow.

Of course, it would be better if he accepted the marriage wholly - both sacred and secular. Am I approaching this right? The state is your ally. Which may not mean much for very religious countries like America but as someone living in a country where church and state affairs are divided I find it important because state is where the bills are made.

But his statement is part of the story, so I encourage you to check it out. Unfortunately, they are largely background characters, and it's easy to miss them if you aren't looking for it. But he makes progress. My philosophy is to be extra careful that I counter any bias I might have that I might not be noticing.

I support gay marriage. I have read his opinion about Dumbledore and gay marriage and yes, he is against gay marriage. Since Brandon Sanderson is an openly Mormon writer, his influence matters more than that of shrieking harpies like Mary Robinette Kowal because the public perceives him as reasonable and.

This happened a while ago, but has recently resurfaced, and seems to be the most recent update. I have to trust in them. Sanderson is personally a supporter of LGBTQ+ communities and has included several queer characters in his books.

I had really begun to fall in love with his books, so this is a real shame. Drehy, a bridgeman in Bridge 4, is gay and has been confirmed to be getting a boyfriend in the near future. At this point I… feel like I have a decent read on how he interacts with these issues as a person.

Does the fact of being LDS influence in any way how do you present those characters? He is against church marriage of gay people. I know that Sanderson has grown and is growing.

Always Mid Now Gay : I support trans rights, the rights of non-binary people, and I support the rights of trans people to affirm their own identity with love and support

My current stance is one of unequivocable support for LGBTQ+ rights. Ranette from Era 2 Mistborn is a lesbian and has a girlfriend. It sucks to find out your faves think such awful, homophobic things, and have a lot of faith in them as well.

When flirtymauveskirt sent him a message on twitter saying she felt the relationship between Jasnah and Shallan was romantic and Shallan was bi, Brandon said he was flattered by the interpretation:. Update: There was a AMA in which he seemed to accept the passing of gay marriage with a lot of worries and maybes and skepticism on both sides, but again, not great.

The thing is… the pace of social change on LGBT rights and hell, even our existencehas been incredibly swift. Well, yes and no. It is immoral to banish an entire group of people, and to pretend that they are not good people with good arguments, and lives and passions.
