So often straight characters are defined by their romantic relationship with someone who is a
different gender. How do you keep a story from being overwhelmed by the sexuality of your main character?

demonstrate their straightness? And how does an LGBTQ storyteller include straight characters while
remaining true to their own values and ideals?
