On par with the argument of Aziraphale and Crowley fitting so many different types of queer rep into them because they can be whatever we want to see them and that's awesome... There's an argument I always miss in this sort of "discourse", and it's that even outside of human labels and identities, they are absolutely queer characters? Like, even ignoring all the human stuff, saying they might not have gender for real, are canonically sexless, etc etc... Like, guys, they're so queer when you just look at them as angels (demons).

Crowley's presentation is continuously neat, tidy, fashionable and modern. He isn't presenting at all the way other demons are. Demons are expected to be dirty, with old clothes, hair full of grease and blood and other gross liquids, sores on their faces, animals on their heads. Crowley doesn't confirm to this presentation at all. We speak about his gender non-conformity in human terms, but his demon non-conformity is at least as important IMO. Crowley chooses how he wants to look, how he wants to be seen, for himself, even if it's looked down on and met with scorn from the demons around him. (Does this strike cords with anyone else who's gnc? Because it should.)

Likewise, Aziraphale doesn't wear the tailored suits and the gold tattoos that are a normal presentation for an angel. He engages in a lot of unangelic activities, like hoarding books and enjoying meals, and he gets flack for it the same way any person who fails at having the proper interests for their gender gets flack from their environment, too.

Already on their own these characters are queer coded that way. And then there's their relationship, their love for one another, the way they're drawn to a member of a group they're not at all supposed to be attracted to. They fall in love with the wrong person. The person they love isn't the gender sort of angel they're supposed to, allowed to love. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Especially Aziraphale goes through all the struggles a lot of us queer folk go though. He tries to not see it. They're just acquaintances, it's nothing - okay, they work together sometimes - okay, they might be friends, but they can't - oh fuck he loves Crowley, and it's mutual, and he cannot live in a world that doesn't have Crowley, but loving him puts Crowley at risk, they can't let anyone see, ever. That's, yeah, that's just living in a homophobic world, y'all. It does that to us. And Crowley is more comfortable with his love in itself (and cares less for the approval of his family side), but he too is aware of the risks and aware of how difficult giving in to it is for Aziraphale.

Like, yes, the characters aren't human. There's analogies and metaphors and shit here, yeah. But their entire story is queer as fuck. Please shut up about the queer baiting.

No one is fucking talking about it but another black man was killed by the same police department that killed George Floyd they killed him 9 minutes after entering his apartment. No knock warrants are fucking bullshit. He was wrapped in his blanket he was innocent they had the wrong address there is body can cottage you cannot fucking deny this bullshit.

This is being hushed up and covered up and I cannot believe it took me until TODAY, SIX DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED to find out about it.

Everyone should be talking about this shit.

All the BLM protests and here we are again. We cannot let a single one of these slide because that's how nothing changes and that's how innocent people are being killed at the hands of assholes who are happy to pull the trigger without hesitation. I'm so fucking upset right now and so should you be.
