More LGBT+ relationships that aren't the entire fucking plot of the movie. I wish relationships would develop around the plot narrative like we see heteronormative romances portrayed in action/thriller/etc movies. Right now we only really have movies where the entire fucking plot revolves around how gay someone is and their struggle with being gay and AcCePtInG tHeMsElVeS. It's becoming trope-y and stale.
I just want to be pleasantly surprised someone's LGBT+ in a movie and have the plot move on without fanfare like it would for a straight romance.
Problem is:
You cant win with MFS because they just dont want to see queer people in media.
I am queer and I dont care if the series or movies is all about the queerness or if someone in the movie just happens to be queer. I want the story to be good.
