Yeah, if the Venn diagram of “people offended by female God, black Adam and Eve, a demon protagonist, both Heaven and Hell being bureaucracies packed with assholes, and a cute, mostly normal boy who loves his dog being the Antichrist” and “people offended by a protagonist angel and demon that are both male-human-shaped being a couple and kissing” isn’t a perfect circle, it’s gotta be close enough to indistinguishable as to make no difference.

Whatever Neil’s reasons for not showing them kissing, “oh no we might offend the straights” doesn’t even get a look-in. And I remember years ago in pre-show fandom, people would ask about Aziraphale and Crowley, get variations on the “angels are sexless unless they really make an effort” bit from the book in answer, and go right back to asking if they banged.

Pratchett seemed more annoyed by it than Gaiman, not in a “how dare you sully our work with gay cooties” kind of way, but more like “we didn’t write them that way, but we’re not stopping you, now please stop trying for a different answer.”

I never actually went to a signing or anything so all my info boils down to third hand gossip, though.
