I’m a fool for love. I love dating shows. I love dating. I love romance. BUT I was getting pretty tired of seeing dating show after dating show with only straight people. In fact, it irked me. It felt like a really big flashing sign to all the LGBTQ people in the world that read, ‘you’re not welcome here! You don’t deserve love, relationships, sex or to make really questionable choices on television.’ Questionable choices aside, making Dating Unlocked was really about starting to level the playing field with one little queer series that shouts, ‘Hey! We’re here! We’re queer! And we fall in love too!’ By us not being present in the majority of dating shows, (or history books, or sex-ed class discussions, or the legal framework of our society for far too long) it’s an unspoken but blatant message that ‘you don’t belong here and this isn’t for you.’ I not only wanted to, but I also NEEDED to change the dial on that messaging.
