I shall keep that in mind, then. FWIW, I haven't read Card or Heinlein either but I've heard things about their sexism and homophobia that mean I don't really want to, either.

*squishes* Yeah, I get that. It'd be nice if more content creators outside of fannish spaces remembered that queer people exist and are right here, thanks. And huh, that sounds really cool, even though, yeah, I doubt it was intentional. Though maybe some of those early HSF writers were somewhere on the spectrum themselves, even if the terminology wasn't there.
