Kia ora fiction writers.
June is International Pride Month, so today’s post from Writers Helping Writers is about how to avoid LGBTQ+ stereotypes in our fiction writing.
It can be really tricky to write about characters who are different to you, and way too easy to misrepresent parts of society, which in turn can harm the identities we are trying to sensitively and authentically portray.
This article is an excellent overview of LGBTQ+ stereotypes and how to avoid them in your stories.
Happy Pride month!
Keep writing.
