Brandon Sanderson
Post: https://bit.ly/2KKU8fC
[Clarification: As far as I found recently, Sanderson now supports state gay marriage (but not church marriage of gay people), has included LGBT+ characters in his books, and has responded positively to LGBT+ people talking with him. However, even with his history aside, Im not okay supporting an author who wants to bar LGBT+ people from anywhere (in this instance, getting married in a church).]

10:33 Cultural & Historical Appropriation
Rebecca Roanhorse
Indian Country Today: https://bit.ly/39Ves6j
Indianz: https://bit.ly/2M01ooe
[Clarification: While there are Indigenous people who believe what Roanhorse did was cultural appropriation of a tribe that is not her own, there are others who do not agree. Roanhorse has studied Navajo law, is married to a Navajo partner, lives on Navajo land, and is raising her child primarily within the Navajo culture. Indigenous people against the cultural appropriation label raise the point that saying she culturally appropriated is akin to saying she isnt Native enough to be considered Native, an idea reeking of AntiBlackness/blood quantum ideas based in driving Indigenous communities apart.]
