My thoughts regarding CLEXA/SUPERCORP & Queer baiting after The 100 Final

In 2016 I was still in the closet, battling my feelings and my thoughts. The thing that helped me to understand the most why I’m unhappy and what is missing in my life was the different TV-Shows that were brave enough to have LGBTQ characters and storylines. I could find myself in the queer characters, see those characters achieving what the non-fiction world told me I can’t or I shouldn’t.

But unfortunately on that time Queer baiting was very common and every lesbian character storyline will end with DEATH.

In 2016 Lexa (from The 100) was an hero for me, a strong female, leader, fighter and a proud lesbian. That was shot by a stray bullet!

After the infamous episode 3x07 was aired queer women said enough, enough for killing us on TV, enough telling us that we have no future and that we will be forever unhappy. Killing Lena was the biggest mistake The 100 show creator made.

Today the last episode of The 100 was aired, without hyping, without promoting the return of Lexa, finally the creator of The 100 gave us the ending we deserve without fishing rating, 4 years after, better late than never.

I hope Rothenberg learned from his mistake and will never queer bait again, and understand the importance of how Queer characters are portraited on TV or movies.

On this note I hope that Jessica Queller would do the same and use the last season of Supergirl to fix her mistake, years of queer baiting and not listening to the fans and even the TV’s reviewers, be the ground breaking show you want to be, stop waving your token lesbian and trans character that you don’t even give a plot or screen time and finish it in high note.

When Lexa died I was 19, in the closet and still fighting hard against my sexuality.

For me Clexa was an escape, It was my safe place, It was the only time I didn’t feel like I couldn’t be normal and have a happy life.

The night of 3x07 something broke in me, I remember how much I cried and how my mind really shift to “If not even in fiction, where everyone gets a happy ending, lesbians get one, why do you think you are going to be happy”.

I thought about that so many times and It took me years to shut down that voice, but I am not that girl anymore. I am strong now and I am happy and proud to be a lesbian.

I wish could go back then a hug myself and tell it than everything is going to be okay, that we are going to survive.

I am glad we got a clousure to this chapter, I am glad we are free of them and I really hope we get better representation in the future, not only because we deserve it but because we need it.

i mean clearly they don’t want sc’s watching the show so let’s all dust off our pirate hats yeah?

LGBTQ Questions

I just saw a Docu-Series from Israel about LGBTQ Celebrities in Israel and they had a lot of points that I couldn’t agree, but in the same time points that could be a great conversation for our International community that full of different opinions

1) Do you think that it’s still important for Celebrities to come out publicly in 2020?

2) Even if they are Bi/Pan and in committed relationship with the opposite sex (for example chyler leigh)

I’m not asking if they should come out, I’m asking is it important, will it has the same effect on young LGBTQ members to come out to themselves or family?

3) Do you think that Celebrities not coming out are a bad example for teenagers, showing them fear of coming out and teaching them that they should not come out, and celebrities should be pushed outside of the closet?

4) If you are out and proud does celebrities coming out publicly effecting you like it used to be when you were younger or when there were less out celebrities
