"That is to say queers, real life ones, do not deserve representation, protection, and rights because they are morally pure or upright as people. They deserve those things because they are human beings and that is enough." (This one's literally just an essay on queer/queer coded villains in media because this book is really good and has everything but also probably isn't for everyone so you're totally valid if you want to duck out at this point) Also footnotes start at [5:55] because I wanted to include them but didn't want to break up the flow of the essay.
