Diversity 101: Gay in YA
Contributed to CBC Diversity by Adam Silvera

REINDEER BOYS
Or rather Reindeer Boy and girl. I know in my previous design, Dasher was a guy, but I decided the Guy to Girl ratio was a little too uneven, so I have redesigned Dasher as a girl.
Blitzen and Dasher are twins. They love sports.

“All those years ago,” she said softly. “Before he’d ever dreamed of a Second Army, before he gave up his name and became the Darkling, he was just a brilliant, talented boy. I gave him his ambition. I gave him his pride. When the time came, I should have been the one to stop him.” She smiled then, a small smile of such aching sadness that it was hard to look at. “You think I don’t love my son,” she said. “But I do. It is because I love him that I will not let him put himself beyond redemption.” Ruin and Rising | Leigh Bardugo

“If you believe I’m a Saint, why not let me die in the chapel? What if that was meant to be my martyrdom?”
“Then you would have died,” said Tolya without hesitation. “We wouldn’t have found you in the rubble in time or been able to revive you.”
