User blog comment:Mirnish/LGBTQ+ Representation on Total Drama/@comment-25027229-20150730172508/@comment-1741760-20150801080733

Hasn't the LGBT community already been represented in kids shows? It was implied in Legend of Korra and Adventure Time, as well as clearly being shown in Clarence and Good Luck Charlie.

I hope I'm not coming off as insensitive Ryan, I'm a huge supporter of the LGBT community and I'm so happy about the recent ruling here in the States and the progress made so far. I'm just worried that with TD's track record with characters that ended up offending a lot of people (like Mike did), a gay character may be very stereotypical (and we know that Total Drama loves stereotypes) and offend people in the LGBT community and whatnot.

Regardless, I hope and pray that there will be a time in the future that LGBT characters can be shown in kids shows without issue, because gay people are just as human as straight ones.
