Ive been reading Pern novels since I was like 15 (Im 45) and until joining this sub it never really occurred to me that there was anything wrong with how she portrayed green riders. I suppose at some point or another I questioned how there were enough gay people to offer the huge number of green dragons that had to have been in all the weyrs but I guess it didnt seem all that deep. It was fantasy/sci-fi after all.
