Tom Clancy was wrong about a lot of things, but he was not wrong about the threat posed by terrorists who apply Martian stealth technology to asteroids to elude Earth's space defense network and bombard the planet

One of the major characters in Season 3 is a lesbian who's also a space priest that saves humanity, there's a lot of LGBT+ people in the Expanse and it's so common it's just normal it's not even remarked upon, plenty of people are gay but being gay is never their entire character it's just who they like to sleep with

the best part of The Expanse is that it's political spacewar and incredibly diverse, they just never remark on it, they just do it and all of the characters loving rule, Avasarla and Drummer being the queens of the Solar System

There was also a mature gay couple featured in season one but it was so utterly unremarkable that people forget it existed.

Oh yeah the ambassador to Mars was gay I literally forgot that, but like in a good way. Characters' sexuality only ever comes up if they're doing an establishing shot where someone's waking up in bed with another person, or like they facetime their spouse and oh look the lady priest has a wife instead of a husband this is completely unremarkable and nobody notices or cares. It's all just people in space doing cool space things and murdering each other, there's 9 foot tall cyborg asteroid miners nobody cares if you like dick in the future

The Ceres intranet is 100% full of space buttholes, they just didn't have the CGI budget to properly represent what a human butthole looks like after a lifetime of growing up in low g so they had to leave them out of the show
