In 2016 I was still in the closet, battling my feelings and my thoughts. The thing that helped me to understand the most why I’m unhappy and what is missing in my life was the different TV-Shows that were brave enough to have LGBTQ characters and storylines. I could find myself in the queer characters, see those characters achieving what the non-fiction world told me I can’t or I shouldn’t. 

But unfortunately on that time Queer baiting was very common and every lesbian character storyline will end with DEATH. 

In 2016 Lexa (from The 100) was an hero for me, a strong female, leader, fighter and a proud lesbian. That was shot by a stray bullet! 

After the infamous episode 3x07 was aired queer women said enough, enough for killing us on TV, enough telling us that we have no future and that we will be forever unhappy. Killing Lena was the biggest mistake The 100 show creator made. 

Today the last episode of The 100 was aired, without hyping, without promoting the return of Lexa, finally the creator of The 100 gave us the ending we deserve without fishing rating, 4 years after, better late than never. 

I hope Rothenberg learned from his mistake and will never queer bait again, and understand the importance of how Queer characters are portraited on TV or movies. 

On this note I hope that  Jessica Queller would do the same and use the last season of Supergirl to fix her mistake, years of queer baiting and not listening to the fans and even the TV’s reviewers, be the ground breaking show you want to be, stop waving your token lesbian and trans character that you don’t even give a plot or screen time and finish it in high note. 

SUPERCORP ENDGAME

I just saw a Docu-Series from Israel about LGBTQ Celebrities in Israel and they had a lot of points that I couldn’t agree, but in the same time points that could be a great conversation for our International community that full of different opinions

1) Do you think that it’s still important for Celebrities to come out publicly in 2020? 

 2) Even if they are Bi/Pan and in committed relationship with the opposite sex (for example chyler leigh)

I’m not asking if they should come out, I’m asking is it important, will it has the same effect on young LGBTQ members to come out to themselves or family?

3) Do you think that Celebrities not coming out are a bad example for teenagers, showing them fear of coming out and teaching them that they should not come out, and celebrities should be pushed outside of the closet?
