So you don't have any examples.

[(Anonymous)]

Danny from Teen Wolf.

[likeadeuce]

Ha ha, well, Teen Wolf probably shouldn't be taken as a model of how to do anything.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

This is definitely true, but I'm not the OP, and that was the most glaring example I could think of. Teen Wolf has been talked about in LGBT friendly publications a lot, and the show likes to claim it's more progressive than it is. So, it kind of needs mentioned that the gay characters in Teen Wolf only exist to be gay.

[likeadeuce]

Do you mean you're not the person I asked to give an example or you're not about the OP of the post?

There's also Loras in Game of Thrones. All his storylines are about him being gay. Season 1-2, Loras is follwing Renly, because he's gay! Season 3, Loras is following Joffrey, because his gay lvoer died! Season 4, Loras is engaged to Cersei, because he's gay! Season 5, Loras is arrested for being gay!

[likeadeuce]

So like what kinds of plots do you want that acknowledge gay characters but 'are"t about being gay'? What about, like Jane the Virgin and the various Shondaland shows and I'm literally watching an episode of Mr Robot right now where a supporting character and his male partner are just having a conversation like any other couple, or the Portlandia season where Carrie & Fred were dating the same girl & nobody said boo about it. I definitely think that there could be more/better/ more prominent examples but to dismiss the possibility/existence of representation that isn't 'token' seems kind of selective/dismissive.

straight person denies there is a problem with LGBT representation in mainstream media. also in tonight's news, bears shit in the woods.

[likeadeuce]

Oh ffs. I didn't deny there was a problem. But have fun.
