User blog comment:Mirnish/LGBTQ+ Representation on Total Drama/@comment-21325751-20150730174802

See, I'd be 100% okay if Tom was the first gay character. The point of the show is to focus on stereotypes, so having the first gay character be a gay stereotype makes sense to me. As someone who is gay myself, I can say that not all gay people are like that, but those stereotypes do exist, and I acknoledge that and think it would be great if Tom were gay. LGBT shouldn't be treated like something kids can't see. It's a real thing that really happens in the world, and if they see it on TV or not, they're going to see it in the real world anyway because it is normal. So why it wouldn't be allowed makes no sense to me.
