And this is how religious people should react when someone comes out to them

Re-blogging this from myself cause I wanted to add the most important part: before that first pic she acted like she was 100% on board with her granddaughter being gay while her granddaughter was there and I think that’s great. She had misgivings about it based on religion and upbringing but she cared enough about her granddaughter to not be an ass about it to her granddaughter. And all the above is after she’s out of the room. Who you are is not your gut reactions. It’s what you do with them.

i also wanna point out that when she says “god doesn’t make mistakes” she doesn’t say, “so elena can’t possibly be gay” she says it in the context that therefore if elena’s gay then god meant for her to be so i guess he doesn’t have a problem with it

WATCH ‘THE KING’S AFFECTION’

(This is based entirely on my own scale/interests ymmv etc) 

Premise: Fearing the stigma of a boy sharing a womb with a girl, the newborn princess was ordered to be secretly murdered along with everyone who knew of her existence. Successfully smuggled from the palace, she knows nothing of her origins or her twin brother until she begins working in the palace as a maid, and finds she bears an uncanny resemblance to the Crown Prince. When the Prince is accidentally murdered in her stead, she must take his place and navigate the constant dangers of the palace in order to keep her secret safe. 

Only….now there is a new tutor in the palace….who is putting that secret in danger????

Is It Gay: Despite the first episode threatening some straight nonsense to undermine the initial premise (seriously, there’s a lot of necessary set up in ep1 but it is ROUGH), this show is DELIGHTFULLY queer. Prince Hwi has been living as a man since she was 10 to impersonate her dead brother, and Tutor Jung who eventually falls in love with her falls in love with her as a MAN. And instead of him having a no homo panic about it, he has a completely understandable panic about his crush being THE KING. OH NO IT CAN NEVER BE!!! Honestly so many times this show could have turned sour fast and it DIDN’T EVER DISAPPOINT. When she has to “go undercover” as a woman? She is not insto-presto “girly” and in fact is visibly uncomfortable in women’s clothes! There are gender identity issues! Bi feelings! Trans allegories! The Queen might be a lesbian, honestly! 10000/10 

Does the boy cry: Oh. Do 👏 these 👏 boys 👏 cry. 👏 At one point Tutor Jung has had such a rollercoaster of the day his face is literally swollen from ugly crying while Hwi smiles gently at him and pats his hand. mmmmyes/10

Women: At no point is Hwi shown as less capable than the men. In fact, she is consistently shown as a BETTER SWORD FIGHTER than her love interest, which not only makes sense from a goddamn practical perspective but also is so desperately lacking in most media that it made me want to eat my own hands. There are multiple female characters with their own wants and desires, and though I wish they were a little less focused on the men(?) in their lives I also understand being this palace-adjacent means romance is often a life or death political game they have to play. 10/10

Bonus: No freaking love triangles. NONE!!! Even when Tutor Jung’s BFF Dimples is also (understandably) in love with Prince Hwi, they never ever fight over who will “win!” Dimples knows he’s not in the running and doesn’t get pissy about it!! WHAT A CONCEPT. OT3/10 

Bonus?: Everyone in this show is rolling constant Nat1s on their perception checks. Both hilarious and at times infuriating. 

Minus: There is a rotation of three pop songs that turn the show into music videos at the drop of a hat. Genuinely probably added an entire episode’s length of time onto the show. This could be fixed with a drinking game - more funny than distracting, and at times used incredibly well. 

ENDING: Solid, solid, solid. Deeply satisfying, successfully managed to make us gasp and sweat and laugh and cry. A+++ 

IN CONCLUSION: WATCH THE KING’S AFFECTION ON NETFLIX
