So long as they aren’t claiming that their view is the One True Representation of a deity, there is nothing wrong with someone viewing a deity as a representation of their sexuality, romantic orientation, or gender.
No harm is being done by aro and ace people identifying with Artemis and seeing her as their protector.
No harm is being done by bi, pan, and other multi-spec people looking at Odin and thinking, “he’s like me.”
No harm is being done by trans people feeling a connection with Loki because they feel like he, too, defies a rigid gender binary.
Etc., etc., etc.
Deities don’t fit into neat boxes. We as their followers are allowed to see ourselves in them.
