      We discuss how Amazon Prime’s recent adaptation of Good Omens is a wonderful example of expansive queer representation, particulary of asexual characters and relationships and of transgender/gender non-conforming characters.

      • Medium piece “Good Omens” is the asexual love story I’ve been waiting for
      • NG being delighted that people love all the gender fluidity, “As you say, it’s all love.”, “None of the angels or demons are binary.”
