This character has been created long ago. Right now I'm just trying to put together a solid backstory, and decide what the family should be like. Who her parents are is what I'm trying to decide here, though I don't plan for them to be hugely different in any notable way from a standard family. Just with that extra detail to help explain some of the character's psyche.

And yes, I do know things. I have neighbors who are gay, and one of my best friends is lesbian. I am fully aware of how different the reality is from what usually gets broadcasted in media. What I'm asking here is how I should handle writing such a trait in REMNANT in particular. A world that, while similar to ours in many ways, is also vastly different. It's fine, but I don't think making her parents gay is the way to go. There are other options for explaining who she is, outside of that path.

Just wanted to make certain, that's all. There are so many Fanfictions out there that are written like yaoi/yuri (The graphic kind that doesn't try to build a relationship between two characters). As for how that would work on Remnant, I'd just go off of what we have here. Even though religion hasn't been shown in the canon, I'm certain they exist, and some of them probably are against that kind of thing. Also, considering the prevalence of heterosexual relationships that we've seen so far, you could say that LGBT relationships are less common. But, with no basis in the actual show, I think it's best just to write such a thing as realistically as you can without going against the canon too much.
