I want LGBT+ representation in works that aren’t about LGBT+ people. Don’t get me wrong, I love Falsettos-type representation, where the piece of media is about queer people and lives and experiences. But I think that media where one of the characters just happens to be queer is just as important. Book of Mormon (the musical not the actual religious scripture) is a great example of this. It’s not a gay musical, per se. Elder McKinley just happens to be gay and have a huge fuckn crush on Elder Price but thats another post for another time. I love that kind of thing. LGBT+ people don’t just cease to exist when the focus isn’t on us, so why aren’t we in many stories that aren’t about us?
