If Capta Ameri and Elsa don't enter gay relatnships, the LGBTQ muny likely wouldn't boytt or get all up arms about .

Moreover, even wh the awarens that 's "jt entertament, " we look to fictn to fd characters that we n relate to, or other ways that a creative work reflects our liv and, though I might be generally apathetic toward the sexual orientatn of a Stars-and-Strip-clad superhero and a queen wh ice powers, a gay teenager may feel differently about . But that's a bate for another Lahren plas about homosexualy beg "shoved down our throats, " "ramrodd down our throats, " and "parad our fac nstantly, " apparently thkg she need to rndantly rephrase the same msage three tim to effectively munite her pot. Though there have been many gay characters over the years, and a growg number of bisexual and trans characters, as well as general acceptance of this populatn by many the entertament dtry, is still very heteronormative.

It ends when gay teenagers no longer qutn whether their sexualy is wrong or abnormal, and feel ee to pursue same-sex relatnships. Gay Senator fur after beg turned away om givg blood spe meetg guil. \u201cSo you turned your gay pri para to a #RistMarch huh?
