Oh god, this. I can't STAND most Western queer media and I'm a queer person. It's just so over the top and performative and ridiculous, like rainbows to the face "gay gay gay have I mentioned that I'm gay today?"

I want queer media that's the equivalent of what we get for straight media: stories about people who just happen to be gay, not screaming from the rooftops how gay they are.

YES. I swear most queer people aren't like that so why is it all we seem to be getting in post-2010 "queer media", either that or blatant queerbaiting without canonicals? I know "bury your gays" and "hide your gays" and "gay suffering" are tiring but damn. Sometimes I'd rather have that than the self-gratifying rainbow dystopias (which often make for shallow, unidimensional characters, too) we get in some indie works. Sometimes. I like fun works but it gets tiring too.

I just want queer narratives where being queer isn't a huge deal in the narrative, be it in a negative way or a positive way. I've already read/watched five million coming out stories (and lived my own) and five million things about gay angst, by now I just want stories about queer people that don't focus primarily on them being queer.
