User blog comment:Mirnish/LGBTQ+ Representation on Total Drama/@comment-26614682-20150730163239

I actually had been asking fresh about it too. One of the things that first came to my mind is that Tom is one of the most stereotypical gay characters that could possibly be confirmed as gay. What fresh needs to realize is that these characters do not need to purposely have stated that they are LGBTQ, but rather fresh should just allow characters to be lgbtq. Have relationships that are LGBT but don't emphasize the fact that its two guys together. There are ways to do things that make it just like it is in real life. I am not defined by my sexuality. Being gay does not define my entire character, rather it is a part of who I am but I am a whole different person. However, that does not mean that LGBT relationships should then be cut out entirely. I am so sick of people acting likes its still such a taboo thing. My feelings on the matter is that anything that exists in the "natural world" is then "natural", being LGBTQ occurs in the natural world and therefore is natural. I just would like to see more diverse relationships portrayed rather than a heteronormative perspective all the time. I think it actually would benefit young teens to see other relationships than straight ones. It shows that it is just fine to be with the person you love, because gender has nothing to do with it.
