RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist#WritingPride day 2: Do you have any queer antagonists?
Having a queer antagonist is a situation I try to avoid since it can turn out very stereotypic and offensive, but the current work does have one. The reader should get that were circumstances different, the antagonist would be a stuck-up but cute and lovable air-head who has trouble keeping a job, rather that the sometimes violent gangster with a chip on his shoulder he's become. His being gay had nothing to do with how he turned out, and the story does heavily touch on his soft spot in an oddly heartwarming way. At least I hope it comes off in the manner.
