Yeesh. As a queer teenager in the 90s, I definitely remember TV reenforcing my fears and reducing me to a punchline. And then Will & Grace happened, and I couldn’t stand the stereotypes, but suddenly people were laughing with us instead of at us. Representation matters so much. Even if it’s not the best, it still matters.

Which is why I hate it when baby gays shit on that representation rather than considering the context it was made in.
