I want to see more "Benign Queerness"
Its briefly mentioned that the character is gay or bi or trans and then it never comes up again because its not relevant to their job in a hospital/cop/whatever.
I feel like Brooklyn 99 did this well. ~~The chief~~ Captain Holt is a really interesting nuanced character who happens to be gay.
Minor nitpick: he was Captain, not Chief.
And him trying to pass for straight was some of the funniest scenes in the show:
Right. Captain. Thanks.
Andre Braugher was a comedic genius.
I need every character who is gay to be portrayed as a jellybean-throwing simpleton. That way I know they're gay.
I had a buddy growing up who had a really hard time coming to terms with being gay because he really loved lifting weights, football, dirt bikes and hard rock. He was "One of the boys" in an era when most of the portrayal of gay people in popular media was (and I say this with all love) mostly flamboyant lisping queens.
Fortunately his story had a happy ending, but role models are important.
I'm very gender fluid even though I'm straight af. I don't even know what the hell's going on with my gender identity to be honest I don't know the magic words and I don't even care because I accept myself for who I am finally. I would have loved to know it's okay to not align myself or portray myself as the stereotypical man because I don't feel that way inside. Basically I'm agreeing with you but in my own way.
Kids show, but Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts did that pretty well with one of the main cast
Magic: tG has a few characters. Comes out as queer in a book, never mentioned on any card except maybe during pride month.
I want to see the waveform of 'wait is this guy oblivious or evil?' Collapse when he does something phenomenally shitty to his boyfriend.
