[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9043194, member: 6779310"] Bert and Ernie were outed as gay by one of the writers responsible for much of their story.... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/bert-ernie-are-gay-couple-sesame-street-writer-claims-n910701[/URL] [B]In re SJG, [/B]they happen to have a PBG setting, the [I][U]Vorkosigan Saga Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game[/U][/I], which happens to be about a setting with an entire planet populated entirely by gay men (Athos), and a Vor Lord, Dono, who goes to Beta Colony, and becomes Lady Donna, causing a whole secondary crisis in one of the novels the sourcebook is based upon. Barrayar is noted as sexually and morally old school, ableist, and generally regressive; it's constantly compared to Beta Colony, which is sexually flexible, engineered a stable functional hermaphrodite third gender, and have a whole complex code of earrings to tell you the gender of the wearer, their gender(s) of interest, their availability, and their (general) level of sexual adventurousness... The surprising thing about SJG is that they have been openly LGBTQ friendly for a long time, despite being in one of the, uhm, [I]less enlightened[/I] states...
