I’m late to the party, but I wanted to remind everybody that The Forever War exists, with explicitly gay and 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.
