I haven't watched Visions season 3 yet for characters, but there's several LGBTQIA+ voices, a mix of returning and new-to-Star-Wars: George Takei, Harvey Guillén, James Sie, Major Attaway, Maximilian Reid, and Stephanie Hsu. (May be others I didn't catch when reviewing cast lists?)

MTFBWY, queerly!

16-year-old Silinese Rhos is genderfluid. Sitia says "little brother" when he's wearing silver, "little sister" when she's wearing gold. He's euphoric when Jecki recognizes and acknowledges his gender shifted.

To avoid spoilers, I won't describe Rhos/Lio's romance trajectory. Buy/check it out! 5/5

Lio is 18, from the (in)famous Graf clan, is human but born on Siline, not Silinese in species but is in culture. They get multiple viewpoint chapters, including a paragraph discussing how shaving their own head and having no body hair is important to their gender and personhood. 4/5

The Arthyst siblings—Rhos and Sitia—share their mother's violet coloration in their skin, crystals, and filament hair. Sitia is a young woman who wears a binder during the survival competition and endlessly flirts at Yord while respecting his "please don't" when she wants to kiss him. 3/5

Rap is a minor character, but this Silinese person is one of "two people with indiscernible gender traits" and "one of the gender-ambiguous Silinese" from Jecki Lon's POV when meeting them and others on the War Council. 2/5

The book also has profiles for background characters:
- Sage Kinzem, they/them, investigator and new Jedi Knight
- Umbaran wives Asala Suro and Cosa Simo, seen in Olega City
- Bihun and Basko's species is interesting not-really-genders-wise; text in alt (TY again, @jessicamumford.bsky.social)!

"As the more tempestuous of the handfasted couple, Mother Koril exhibits a more impulsive streak than her wife, Aniseya."

I LOVE this! IRL, LGBTQ+ couples have often used handfasting to pledge love and commitment, whether in lieu of or for lack of access to legal marital status.

Soujen Vak-Nhalis remembers his "eldest father" and there are multiple mentions of "his fathers" without specifying how many were in his family. Those are separate from "his forefathers in clans dead for a century" and "the elders of his clan". Not totally clear if it's a single-gender society. 3/3

Incidental characters:
- NB unnamed Arcona who meets with Bail Organa.

- F/F married couple Erinya and Jayu have few traits; they're there to fill out a group roster.

2/3

They show up a few more times but aren't significant.

Vernestra Rwoh's aroaceness isn't addressed at all.

The only sexuality in this book is sexual harassment, in one scene men towards another man; a group of Twi'lek men is shouting at a human man working as a dancing boy. 2/2

Staring into the camera. Some people insisted Mother Koril and Aniseya weren't a couple and interpreted Leslye Headland's The Hollywood Reporter answer as "they are NOT queer/if you think they are, you're wrong" instead of her response to viewers seeing (esp. HATING) 'lesbian space witches'.
