I thought the movie was amazing! And I don’t understand the haters all that much if I’m being honest. I read and heard so many people saying “people shouldn’t be pushing LGBTQ+ movement down our throats, atleast give us heterosexual couples too, or just give us heterosexual couples”, we already have so much of that representation in modern media, what’s wrong with LGBTQ+ representation in media? The people who right these comments say their accepting of LGBTQ+ people, but then they bag on a short scene with an LBGTQ+ couple (and the movie wasn’t even centered on that whole moment so like, ok? Fine? Why complain?). As someone who did realize they were Aromantic Bisexual until they where 18, I feel like having some representation in media would have helped me discover myself sooner and skip a lot of the emotional pain and suffering I went through. Some people just don’t understand how agonizing it is to be only shown Heterosexual relationships ever since you were in diapers, and then wonder why you don’t feel the things those media relationships are showing you. For so long I had tried to force myself to be hetro because that’s all I thought could exist. These types of scenes are showing people, and yes, KIDS, that there is more than one path. But just because there is more than one path doesn’t mean your set to one of them, I had to explore a few to figure out where I fit, and that’s ok. Life’s confusing sometimes, and the best thing to do it to let it be confusing. Ok, down to the core of this message is that I would be fabulous if people stopped ragging on an LGBTQ+ moment during pride month, and to stop ragging on this movie because they disagree with any representation of LGBTQ+ couples in movies / media. God, what is our society coming too…… I weep for our future…
