Gay Shows - Tumblr Posts

yes, yes, yes and yes absolutely love this show. imma be honest when I say that I usually don't like watching 7+ shows so when I started watching it, it was mainly as a joke but like now I'm kinda obsessed with it and can't wait for the 2nd season. Also none of the characters in the show are straight I said what I said.

the way julie and the phantoms portays masculinity and the decision to go against certain male stereotypes is so refreshing? they actively avoided the worn out “90s pop-punk, lead singer of a band, douchy drummer” tropes and just showed three teenage boys who aren’t afraid to comfort each other, who hug each other and accept each other, who cry when they’re sad instead of bottling it up. there was no homophobia, none of the stereotypical “do you like me, bro?” jokes similar music shows do when one of the guys is gay, they were genuinely happy that alex had a crush on someone. 

it was such a healthy portrayal of not just teenage boys, but teenagers in general and was such a breath of fresh air. 

I swear to god, y’all really need to learn that you can be upset that your identity isn’t being represented in something, without tearing down the identities that are being represented in something.

Sapphics don’t have “too much representation in modern cartoons” just because there isn’t as much MLM content in cartoons. AFAB enbies don’t have “too much representation” just because there isn’t as much for AMAB enbies. Binary trans people don’t have “too much representation” just because there isn’t as much for nonbinary people. Gay men don’t have “too much representation” in ANY way, shape, or form, considering how much of it is still blatantly homophobic.

It’s almost like we should be directing our anger at the system instead of our fellow marginalized comrades.
