Bekah Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi K-Prime and no, I have never watched that show, but I love the relationship between Tig and Venus on Sons of Anarchy. I think it's wonderful how they have a transgendered woman on that show...it was unexpected to me, not to mention, the man playing the character is an actor I love, so that just makes it all the better Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

K-Prime Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Oh cool! I had no idea they broke out a trans storyline on SOA. That definitely bumps it up on the list of shows I need to check out, especially now that it's winter. It's really nice to see the small amount of LGBTQ characters slowly increasing, especially with the growing popularity of cable TV shows (SOA, Looking, etc.) I'm just going back and watching "Happy Endings" right now and it's crazy to see how far we've come since the character of Max.

OtakuBosatsu Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Right, and there are a few different versions of the alphabet soup now. Seriously, don't feel bad. I'm a lesbian and I still have to look up LGBTQIAQ to remember what every letter means. Now there are 8 letters? I feel like I've been living in a cave Ok so let's see if I got this right without the aid of Google: L esbian G ay B isexual T ransexual Q ueer I don't know A sexual? Androgynous? Something else?

nightlight Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Heyo! Just wanted to step in and say hi. I'm a queer girl living in Vancouver, Canada with my partner of 3 years and our two dogs (basset hound and pitbull/Rhodesian ridgeback X). I was already digging on NF, but I absolutely love that this thread is here. I also love the crush potential between Agent Simmons and Bobbi Morse on the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Anyone else pick up on that? i request pictures of the puppies!

Twilight Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The googles, it is not always reliable. Also, I think it's more important to be aware that these labels and identities are growing, expanding, and multiplying as people discuss, refine, and create them. Quote Link to comment
