    I'm late to the party, but I wanted to remind everybody that The Forever War exists, with explicitly gay hexbear-gay-pride and trans hexbear-trans characters, to which Heinlein said, "may be the best future war story I've ever read!"

    Go suck it, Brianna. What a disappointment you turned out to be.

      Heinlein also wrote Stranger in a Strange Land which is about a bunch of hippies living together in a commune fighting against an oppressive state and wining.

      I think calling Starship Troopers "fascist source material" is a bit reductive. Heinlein was exploring some ideas, not trying to make an argument for ideals. He had some issues, definitely, but just pointing to it and saying 'fascist!' ignores a TON of context.
