He’s an amazingly inclusive writer, and he writes his characters’ diversity in such a casual way that it doesn’t seem “groundbreaking” or “progressive.” It just is. He’s fantastic at writing male/female friendships in a way that gently acknowledges and then dismisses the underlying romantic expectation. He describes characters of color in a way that validates their racial identities without vilifying or fetishizing them. He refers to the gender of his characters’ same-sex romantic interests without screaming “THEY’RE QUEER,” or even refers to ‘past lovers’ without mentioning a gender at all. I just… I really love Gaiman’s work, and I truly appreciate his acknowledgement of the diversity of the world. That’s all. Thanks.
