Bury Your Gays: Discussed. Esther mentions several times that all the books she and Beatriz read about "people like them" ended in tragedy, with the main characters either dying or being driven to madness. This left Esther with the mindset that she was a Doom Magnet because of her feelings towards other women and that Beatriz's death was a natural outcome of their relationship. Which, as Amity later points out to her, is probably exactly what the government who approves of these stories wants Esther and people like Esther to think.

Cast Full of Gay: All of the characters in the main group are lesbians or bisexual. Downplayed with Amity, whose sexuality is at first assumed to be lesbian and polyamorous until it's revealed she faked her relationship to Genevieve and Trace.
