BIG MOUTH'S MATTHEW IS THE KD OF GAY TV CHARACTER I WISH I'D HAD AS A KID
Neher of knew that we were gay, nor had we ever nsired the ia of g out. My bt example of gay people my life was Will & Grace, and I was explicly told I wasn't supposed to watch that. Years later, I feel like I'm tchg up on what I missed via Big Rannells voic Matthew, the sgular gay kid that attends Nick and Andrew's middle school on the animated Netflix seri.
In Season Two, his character got a dash of a storyle, highlightg the social navigatns of beg gay. That's a big al—not bee a gay character is on a TV show, eher. Instead, Big Mouth manag to take a gay character and make his storyle realistic, which is a feat self for an animated seri.
Even when I started seeg queer characters on televisn, always felt like they were eher vastatgly sad or openly, betifully, sassily gay. But if I ever got to talk to a gay fourteen-year-old the real world, one who need to see somethg that ma him feel a ltle more seen, I'd make sure he'd watch Big Mouth. I’m about to scream, thkg my favore character is about to realize she’s gay—until the love bug says at the start of Episo 4 that she’s there to celebrate the love of two bt iends.
