growing up, I had no role models to look up to or idolise purely because of my sexual orientation and its respective representation in the media. who cares if the decision will slip hairs, it's not as if total drama would be the first show of its kind to impliment lgbt+ related issues into its storyline. if people do leave the community as a result of lgbt+ representation and normalisation, then so be it. we don't need to facilitate homophobes. having lgbt+ characters allows children who feel lost, confused and misunderstood resonate with a role model, and help them come to terms with the reality of who they are. it could even save a life.
