A STORY CAN BE A QUEER STORY WITHOUT ROMANCE. A STORY CAN BE A QUEER STORY EVEN IF IT CONTAINS TRAGEDY. A STORY DOES NOT HAVE TO FOCUS EXPLICITLY ON A NEATLY RESOLVED ROMANTIC PLOT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE TELLING A QUEER STORY. JUST BECAUSE A STORY IS NOT A COOKIE CUTTER ROMANCE WITH A DYKE COPY-PASTED INTO THE ROLE OF THE MALE LOVE INTEREST DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS NOT A QUEER STORY.

#I'm biting #no media literacy on the dashboard tonight #personal #no a story written by a queer woman containing tragic elements is not 'bury your gays trope' because one of the queer characters dies #literally almost every character is queer you would be hard pressed to find a character that *isn't* queer
