Sorry if this sounds rant like but here we go…..
As a straight woman I find the lack of LGBT characters in comics, films and TV shows annoying. It’s sad that we’re in 2016 and we still can’t have a main or supporting character who’s Gay/bi/trans that doesn’t get killed off!
Come on writers, let’s give Tony Stark a best friend who’s a lesbian and have him insist on helping her find dates so he can play the ultimate wing man!
Let’s have a trans character leading their own team in the X-Men!
Let’s give Gotham a Bi superhero that joins the Bat family!
Let’s have a Gay longterm relationship in a top TV show and here’s an idea don’t kill one of them off!
I understand I may lose followers over this post, but after seeing the state of a good friend of mine after getting the crap kicked out of him for holding his boyfriends hand in the park. After the terrible tragedy in Orlando….isn’t it time things changed? Isn’t it time we all learn to accept each other for who we are?
Isn’t it time to stop the hate?
It’s time to spread the love, in the real world and the fictional one.
