Sirius: Do you want to know your gay name?
Remus: My… gay name?
Sirius: Yeah, it’s your first name-
Remus: Ha ha, very funny.
Sirius, getting down on one knee: -and my last name.
Remus: Oh my god.
“Crowley absolutely loves Aziraphale, and he hates that he loves Aziraphale.
It’s really annoying for him.”
David Tennant, New York Comic Con (2018)
The fact that Good Omens S2 was SO QUEER.
Not Just Maggie and Nina (and Lindsey)
Not just Aziraphale and Crowley
Not even just Gabriel and Beelzebub (who is NB)
But the magician shopkeeper and his trans/NB spouse who wore a fancy early 19th century dress to the ball.
Job's son who was flirting with Aziraphale (hilariously played by Ty Tennant giving Michael Sheen heart eyes in front of his dad lmao)
Even the tough macho man in Scotland that Aziraphale borrows the phone from - using it for "Grindr".
Plus of course Michael, Uriel, Muriel, and Dagon also all being non binary/gender queer characters.
With all this, there was no homophobia, no one batted an eyelid at any characters sexualities, sexuality wasn't even brought up, characters just are who they are and like who they like. Its a non issue in the GO universe.
AKA my favourite type of queer representation. The same type found in The Sandman (show not comic).
And whilst there was plenty of drama and not everyone gets a happy queer ending (YET) there was no queer trauma to be seen. No hate crimes, no "bury your gays", no stupid discussions about how HARD it is to be out of the closet in a bigoted world, because the GO world isn't bigoted.
Its SUCH a BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
I know we have similar experiences in The Sandman, In OFMD, and even in WWDITS, but each time a new show takes this very new approach towards queer representation I feel like I'm once again sinking into a comforting hug from someone I love, who loves me back.
Its just really fucking wonderful to see. I hope we keep seeing it more and more often.

my friend who doesn’t have tumblr wanted me to ask you about good omens s2
“I have to know why at the garden of eden, aziraphale doesn't know crowley when they would've already met at the creation of the universe.”
Why does your friend think he didn't know him? Aziraphale didn't know what the demon was calling himself. But they knew each other.
One day, your voice will stop sounding like my favorite song, and maybe then I'll be able to write something other than my undying love for you.
