#WritingWonders 8/12: Does your MC have any prejudices?
While it’s not the point of the story, Thomas from #ParallelLines embodies an attitude toward straight people that many straight people harbor toward the LGTBQ+ community: at best, they are uninteresting or irrelevant; at worst, they’re the enemy.
In his case, though, the perspective isn’t rooted in an ethic. It comes down to this: if he can’t seduce you or be seduced by you, you aren’t really on his radar.
