"over the past few weeks since this show premiered, I’ve received countless messages from LGBTQ+ people around the world… people who feel seen, validated"
I'm not sure this statement applies in current times. Maybe it did 20 years ago when these characters were still somewhat rare or when they were still portrayed as caricatures. But if you look at any show that has aired in the past, say, 10 years...is there one without at least one gay character?
It's the norm now.
So you're accusing Karim Diane of being a liar?
