I wanted to point that out but decided that, since I'm not an LGBT person, I have no authority to really judge. However, that one paragraph (if we are thinking the same one) felt like it was straight off a tumblr post which is NOT a good thing.

I've been wanting to talk about how preachy Rick has been getting lately but too nervous as it's easy to come of as some sort of bigot. I mean, it's great he's including others but... that's the only reason most of those characters are there. Inclusion. They have a bare minimum personality and may even contradict logic (Rick, I don't care if Apollo is a god. Males can't have babies with each other. You have to have an ovary for the sperm and, if you have an ovary, you are now sexually a female at this point. Thus, it is not maleXmale but maleXfemale)

Btw, should I make a topic about Rick's apparent tokenism or do you think it may be a little too sensitive? I think as Viral and Utkar have pointed out, it's an issue with his writing that seems to be getting worse and I think it should be spoken about. However, creating that topic is almost like asking for trouble. I might ask an admin for permission before doing so.
