Re: Equality

[gobbledigook]

It's not wrong to give hardships to any kind of character. But gay characters in history have been known to participate in stories only for the time where they can make a minimal difference in the lives of the heterosexual characters before they're killed off - when that happens as many times as it has, you gotta stop and wonder why do writers decide to always kill off the gay one? It's one of those things that happens all the time because people don't bother to write these characters beyond their "gay role" in the story, so when they're the least developed character they are also the easiest one to get rid off.

Killing gay characters if the story calls for it is not wrong. But you might want to think about it and formulate why the story has to go that way, or if it's bad form, given the treatment gay characters have received throughout history, just like you'd do with female and black characters.

I'm inclined to try and look at it from the writers POV and not have a problem with it if it works with the story, but honestly most stories out there are about heterosexual characters, if I get into a gay character, as rare as they are, and then they get killed off so the heterosexual ones get their stories furthened, I can't help but feel ripped off.

Re: Equality

Well, I definitely wouldn't want to just kill off everyone that's [insert minority here] to further the story of people that fit into the majority. I think if I was actually going to kill off a character, I'd be doing it because they were more important to the story and I liked them more. ...I'm weird like that.

I guess it all really depends on the death's context within the story. Like, if you're going out of your way to kill gay characters that's pretty...weird.
