And when they are sued for it, if they haven't been already, it'll never hold up in court. Regardless of the state in question. Fortunately.

Yes! Trillian was awesome! I used it fairly religiously from the early to mid 00s. Combined my ICQ, Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, and AIM. I miss that beautiful, convenient piece of software.

Exactly. You're not supposed to mention what they "identify" as. Or any other gender nonsense. Unless it is the focal point of the story to be told, then don't mention it. That's how you normalize something. By not drawing attention to it.

My favorite example is a character on Agents of Shield. He was a scientist that had a drinking problem. We knew about it from the start but didn't find out why until later in the season. Years prior, he was drinking and driving while his husband was in the passenger seat. Got into a wreck, and his husband died. It wasn't until that moment that we knew he was gay. Why? Because it was irrelevant. Spoiler alert, no one cared. He was a well written character, who was easy to sympathize with, who coincidentally happened to be gay.

Any wedding where the bride is allowed to speak, and wear clothes, is doomed to fail.

I didn't realize until my late teens (mid-00s) where the term came from. Still call them that to this day. Never cared to find out if they have a proper term.

Duet and Drumhead hit so hard. Incredible writing, phenomenal acting. I miss that in Star Trek.
