True, wouldn't be the first such case in sci-fi. Legolas Send a noteboard - 12/09/2010 11:19:36 PM
Who's to say the future won't have more of them, in different contexts?

Break the shackles of heteronormative binormial gender stereoptyping, Paulie! Go forth and read this book!

Should I take it from the "heteronormative" that there is a romantic undertone to the relation between Sir Perceval and Rien, then, or was that just another way of phrasing the gender stereotyping part? :P
