That's good. As long as they're at the helm, I think this could make for a very important piece of queer media. I'm hoping they explore more with Elle's background. I am so happy she is a main character and is played by a trans actress. I hope Tao becomes more tolerable and enjoyable in the future if he's going to be a love interest for Elle.

 

(I'm also hoping we learn more about Isaac because that boy was a damn mystery throughout this first season.)

Same. He wasn't in the visual novels.

Just finished my second watch through it and I’ve decided it still deserves a perfect score.

And not just for highschoolers either, older gays need romantic representation too

"I'm not like homophobic. I'm an ally!"'

I need a story about a mid-20s POC gay leaving his home town and moving to a big city and finds the love of his life. I need this for a friend. Obviously.

It’s a 10/10. Only people that hate Joy and happiness think otherwise.

starting it. now i'm both so kilig while depressed at the same time. i wish i experienced puppy love.

I'm legit fighting with some people on Twitter criticizing the show for being "unrealistic to the the regular gay experience". I'm like??? There's no one set gay experience, we need to drop this. Coming out experiences for kids nowadays definitely easier than past decades.

 

Gay representation in media is always so filled with trauma and heartbreak. Why can't we have one show that is unabashedly romantic, sweet and joyful? I'm glad queer kids will have a show like this to lean on, I wish I had it when I was younger.

I agree. I don't get the need to have depressing media in all of our LGBTQ+ media. We have plenty of that. So many gay films I watched as a kid featured suicide, drug abuse, death, HIV/AIDS, and other just awful things to where I got the impression that being gay unequivocally made your life hell. As a kid, I never had a "homophobic" phase. Even when I went to church (lol), I was pretty vocal about my support for same-sex marriage and got eyes when I said I didn't attend the Chick-Fil-A Day when the founder said they opposed same-sex marriage. I was always pretty supportive of LGBTQ+ people but I, myself, didn't want to be gay because I felt I had enough hardship.

 

I can't imagine the impact watching some basic (but well-crafted) movie like Love Simon would have had on me as a gay adolescent. I feel the same way about Heartstopper. We can have dramas and more raw, dark stories out there. But to silence stories that paint a different picture or tell a different experience is just regressive, reductive, and harmful. We need more media representation in general.

 

There are some in the community that will complain about any gay coupling in media as being stereotypical (e.g., either the characters are too stereotypically femme, they're too masculine that they don't come off as queer enough, or it's heteronormative because it's a masculine guy being paired with a more feminine guy). No single piece of media can capture the diversity of the wildly diverse LGBTQ+ community. Which is why we need more media and we need to support LGBTQ+ media so that more is made in the hopes that more people can see themselves in some representation.
