In these trying times of literally everything lgbt youth have to go through I thought y'all might like to know of a show/comic with some good representation to check out and feel more seen and accepted. You may have already heard of it but it's called Heartstopper.
The show has:
- a trans girl
- an aroace character
- a bisexual character
- two lesbian characters
- a gay character
and it shines a positive light on things unlike some shows will do. There is homophobia and transphobia in the show but it is clearly called out as bad and season one ends on a happy note. It was also really good rep for bisexual people and showed a character's journey to discovering he is bi.
The webtoon has:
- an asexual character
- a demisexual character (he's also in a separate book)
- all the characters mentioned previously, minus the aroace character
the comic does discuss mental illness but everything is put in a it-gets-better light, but in a more realistic way then some stories. Overall it's good and it was made by an lgbt person for lgbt people.
The webtoon/comic is free online and the show is on Netflix, but a lot of the scenes are on youtube too. The author also has a book called Loveless that is about being aromantic and asexual is there's any aroaces here.
