Should publishers demand writers to include every race, nationality, trans people, gender, gay, everything under the rainbow on the stories, books instead of quality, content or that even matter

Another realm in which diversity has no place is historical dramas. Like Mary queen of scots being black or hector being black. That is the same thing as making Shaka Zulu white and Saladin White.
When I write stories or things like that, I don't really include anything from the LGPTQ(idek if that's right) because I don't fully get all this, so I don't want to offend people.

Agreed. They shouldn't be forced to add that because sometimes it sounds really forced.
Sometimes they use pronouns or other things wrong too, making people offended even though they were just trying to make everyone happy.

True, but it sounds super forced sometimes and it ruins the book/movie
