I never understood why reading books or watching movies with LGBT+ characters when I was younger excited me so much. Why every time I would see a man propose to his boyfriend or a trans girl getting gender reassignment surgery I would be so happy. I finally realized it’s because I was so afraid of the fact that I thought i was into girls. I didn’t think it was normal and it was hard to accept, still is sometimes. But seeing it in popular tv shows and movies, even if it’s not even a main part of the story, makes me realize it is being normalized. That I’m not alone. I’m not the only one. It’s taking time but we are ALWAYS progressing, and it is ALWAYS getting better. LGBT representation is important to me. To everyone. We need more. So much more.
