On one hand, Fullmetal Alchemist takes place in Fantasy 1910s Europe, and it’s quite likely that homophobia would be a thing. 
On the other hand, I could ignore that completely in favor of writing what I like. I could probably bullshit my way out of it by saying ‘well, the country of Amestris puts such a heavy focus on science that they’re probably chill with it?”. 
On yet a third hand(where am I getting all these hands?), I’m just imagining the most of the cast at a PRIDE Parade. Like, in a ‘we’re all here regardless of death status and have negotiated a truce with the villains for this’ way that can only be achieved when you want ridiculous comedy. 
#fma#really liking that third option#listen I'm half-asleep and maybe sick but I keep imagining it#and it's fucking#beautiful#Ed and Mustang ran into each other and immediately get in a contest to be the most Extra™ with how much Bi merch they can be decked out in#their respective friend groups have given up trying to get them to chill#they're just chilling and talking and complimenting each others' pins/shirts/ect#Ed's group does include Ling Lanfan and Mei though and usually Ling would join in the out-Extra™ contest but he's Pan so too bad#Originally I headcanoned Winry as Bi but I can't resist the *Pan*-sexual pun with Paninya(who is definitely a lesbian)#Speaking of Lesbians Olivier Armstrong shows up casually wearing a lesbian flag over her shoulders and every wlw has a goddamn heart attack#Hughes is very much alive in this scenario and shows up with his wife#and people start to give them shit because they're *straight*#but little Elicia calls anyone out for being rude because obvs her parents are both Bi(and very proud of her for said calling out)#Also I mention the villains because most of the Homunculi show up too because fuck it#Greed is fighting everyone because *Bisexuals aren't *greedy*! I am because I'm Greed and happen to be Bi but that's irrelevant!*#Greed is the Spiders Gerog of the *greedy bisexual* stereotype#Lust is backing him up but also fighting a similar battle about Pansexuality#She is debating about letting Gluttony eat these jackasses#Envy is chilling for once and just watching them go at it#Pride is snagging every merch item that says *pride* on it no matter what flags it has#Wrath is also there but no one knows if it's for himself or to support his family members#I could go on forever but fuck I have things to do
