Text: Main character says that discrimination is bad. Narrative insists that people should all be treated with respect.
Subtext: [the only queer people in-story are portrayed as unpleasant people and antagonistic to the main characters. The main antagonist is a 'psycho lesbian' archetype]
My reading: The author is a hypocrite and an asshole.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
