I strongly believe that it's important that we have LGBT representation in shows like Total Drama. To show that children and teens alike are no different than anyone else. They're people too and they've got many unique gifts to bring to the table. In recent years, Disney Channel has brought a gay character into one of their original series, there's been an animated short about an openly gay teenager created by college students, and Sesame Street is planning on bringing a transgender character for their cast. I'm really happy about the representations in those cases and I really hope we get more LGBT representation in future. It would also be great for children and teens in the closet to have their own role model and watch them go through their struggles and have accomplishments to show that they're just like everyone else and that they're not alone.
