This. My dad, a big Trekkie watching Discovery for the first time made a comment the other day about how he thought it was almost perfect but a few flaws. And one of the flaws was them shoving a gay relationship down his throat. And fuck that. The existence of gay characters is not shoving gay down your throat. There needs to be more gay until it becomes just natural and not at all surprising when a character just happens to be gay.

Funny how you give an example that is one of many of actual gay shit when saying you're tired of it only being teased.

I remember when there was actually no gay shit on TV. There is now. I'm grateful. You and the thread OP sound like you're teenagers.

You can be grateful for the advancements in representation AND resent the vast gaps that still exist, you know. "Better than nothing" is not actually enough.

Didn't say that was an example of being teased. Did you actually read my comment. The example was my dad. I'm grateful we have more gay characters on tv. We should have more gay characters on tv. I don't mind when things are just subtext, but the fact that it is still difficult to make gay relationships actual text is a problem.
