Idaho bar celebrates “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” with free beer for straight men
Wow. This is… wow. OK, look… I like the sentiment, the idea that healthy relationships in general should be depicted more often, but can you name the last ten shows or movies you watched that feature healthy depictions of LGBTQ+ relationships? I can, because those depictions are so rare they stand out. I can’t name the last ten shows or movies I watched with straight relationships in them, because that’s literally all of them. Yes, including the ones that also depicted LGBTQ+ relationships.
There needs to be more healthy representation of relationships. But specifically straight ones? Nah… We’re saturated with those enough already.
They should make up 7% - 10% of all such representations, right? I think I have seen that many, but I mostly watch nerdy youtube stuff, where the presenter’s sexuality is either not mentioned or several instances of them undergoing a gender transition, which is noticeable.
