Relationships You Wanna See More Of
A small perverse otter:
Also, Office Basilisk and *anybody*. I find the whole concept of a law-enforcement AI who sits at home alone knitting, who can't deal with injury, and who got stuck in a garbage can by a massive war-bot so sad; I want to see her happy.

If you don't know any LGBT people, one of two things is likely:
1. You don't know many people.
2. You do know LGBT people, they just don't feel comfortable coming out to you.

I'm a cis hetero dude and I'm pretty sure my social circle, which evolved from high school, is close to QC levels of diverse. I do live in a big city, though, and I can see how even small variations in context can change that a lot.
The people I know from college, for example, are much less diverse. I don't think there's a single one that (at least openly) falls into any sort of LGBT definition. It's just a bunch of white engineer dudes, and some ladies.

Interesting; from Uni, as a not-the-most-sociable person, I certainly knew at least one gay person, at least one queer person, and someone that I now think is Ace (though, obv. it's none of my flipping business :P). Ignoring MTG's judge stuff - which has a notably higher percentage of non-(cis white male)s due to people wanting representation (also a higher proportion of utter *****, though that's unrelated to their sexuality) - I think I've known one lesbian couple (oh, and a guy who came out as gay, actually, year or two ago, at which point someone else mentioned they were gay)? Of course, this is coloured by the fact that I have no reason to find out if someone's gay, trans, or whatever, because I'm not out there wanting to get into their bed. Oh, and I can tell via tattoos that a person in one of the pubs locally is... something vaguely gender neutral, though I don't know the person at all. So I guess it's pretty evenly split for me, on reflection, between uni people and these dirty southerners doon 'ere.

While I concur with wanting to see more Roko[1], I must raise one minor quibble. She seemed less bothered with the injury than with the prospect of seeing her foot removed and tinkered with. I can personally say that even if bits of me would reattach as easily, I'm *not* one of those people who would look at a missing appendage on the inside and say "ooh, cool".
