Hello,

I'm wondering where could I go that would offer some neat resources about how to accurately and respectfully create characters who are either lesbian or questioning. I want to make sure they are well created and won't come across as crude or disrespectful to the community they're based on. Are there sites where I can interview people who fall into this category? I'd really like teo ask people who are parents and or members of the LGBT community.

Or is such a thing out of the question? Or would it be best for me a person not in the LGBT community to not include those characters because I may unintentionally make their appearance disrespectful?

Thank you for your time.
