I know that it tends to happen this way in real life, just by virtue of us needing the support a lot of times, but I don't think I have a single straight AND cisgender character in my current novel. The main character is a lesbian who's married to a man (who seems to be a very closeted/nervous bisexual) and in a relationship with a bisexual or possibly queer woman. I have a lesbian marine with a best friend who's a gay man and another close friend who's a trans* man, a girl who starts out "straight" and ends up falling for a girl, a bi or lesbian woman, and a small child who currently seems to be growing up to be asexual.
Should I add some straight people? I feel like the situation is plausible in real life (based on my experiences), but we all know fiction has to be less strange than truth in order to be believable.
