Good Omens RT: The Expansive Queerness of Good Omens (1:03:35)

Consulting Fans: Sunday, B, Finn, Science, Johnlocked

Producers: Johnlocked & Finn; Editor: SundayDuck

We discuss how Amazon Prime’s recent adaptation of Good Omens is a wonderful example of expansive queer representation, particulary of asexual characters and relationships and of transgender/gender non-conforming characters.

Thread on queer rep with Neil Gaiman & fans
NG keeping it open to asexual readings – “it’s a love story”
Really lovely thread by someone identifying as agender, asexual
NG’s thoughts on not reading headcanons / his love of the joy of fandom, headcanons 
Medium piece “Good Omens” is the asexual love story I’ve been waiting for
NG being delighted that people love all the gender fluidity, “As you say, it’s all love.”, “None of the angels or demons are binary.” 
Happy Non-Binary Day from NG
Absence of toxic erotonormativity
