Me, a certified lesbian with many lesbian characters, will gladly help you with any questions you might have about writing lesbians and not making them stereotypical :) (idk anything about gay men tho so i'm prob not the person you wanna ask about that)

So. awkward sweating bc I feel bad for asking anything about someones love life \
Uh… I have a lesbian character who is a badass, no-nonsense kind of girl, and is in a relationship with a sweet, kind person who… may work on the black market. (Okay, everyone but the MC's love interest and the antagonist works on the black market).
…any advice on how to introduce the fact that they're dating? And how they may act around each other?
(Please don't tell me 'It's just like a normal relationship' bc I am and always have been single and I don't know how those work.)
Haha well of course im gonna say its just like a normal relationship, but of course ill go into detail for you. Thats really all it is, anyway. There are lots of ways to introduce their relationship into the story. You could use simple pet names like "babe" or "dear" or whatever you want. You could also have ankther character explain their relationship. The funny thing about lesbian relationships is people sometimes think it has to be some spectacular reveal, but it doesnt have to be like that. Theyre just two people who are in love. Take any straight relationship you've seen in media and just treat it like that. Introducing a lesbian couole shouldn't have to be much different than introducing a straight couple.
To sum up, introduce them however you feel is right and natural. The same applies with how they act around each other. It depends on their personalities.
Okay, thanks! I'll do that!
How do you identify a lesbian? I am unsure :)
@"isobel " if your character likes girls and only girls, she's more than likely a lesbian. lesbians have no sexual or romantic attraction to men whatsoever. at least in my experience.
