NAYRT: Ehh, I don't know. We went through nearly a decade where comfortably passing LGB people were overrepresented and it seemed like all the gay men were businessman Stan, all the lesbian women were fashionably femme, and bi people were basically straight people who had the one-episode fling or conversation. Not surprisingly, this seemed to happen right alongside peak respectability politics from the HRC.

It's at a point where I'm feeling very thankful for Billy Porter and Dan Levy. FFS, not all of us present like businessman Stan, we do get clocked for it, and we have to deal with everything from microaggressions to assaults.

While I totally get where you are coming from, I guess my point was I wanted to see well-written characters like that. Those characters you are talking about were mostly token stereotypical characters made by and for straight people and their enjoyment (hot lesbians!! Closeted gay men!!) - the same character written as a main character from a different approach or point of view is what I really would like to see. It's ok if they make jokes about being gay or whatever, but they are clearly more than a walking board screaming I AM QUEER. Which, well, I dont want to see.
