Tag: i’m surprised there’s no hostility in the notes

what-even-is-thiss:

Okay, we need more gay/bi/pan/ace characters in the media we’ve all established that. It’s incredibly important. But I personally think we need a little more diversity in straight couples and mlw couples in general as well as queer couples and poly groups so can I please get:

  • A tomboy whose “makeover” consists of getting a tux and gel in her hair and goes to prom with her boyfriend in matching tuxes.
  • Interracial couples that don’t have a white person involved
  • The girl being taller than the guy and it not being played for comedy.
  • A double wedding with a straight couple and a gay couple
  • A best friend hanging out with a straight couple without being considered a “third wheel” or being part of a love triangle
  • A guy teaching his girlfriend how to use eyeliner. And let him like makeup without any jokes being made about his sexuality or masculinity
  • A couple where one of them is transgender and it’s just a fact that nobody makes a big deal out of
  • Both the bride and groom wearing dresses at the wedding.
  • An established straight couple that’s been together for some time just being a couple. No cheating. No drama. They communicate well and the story doesn’t take a detour for the relationship.
  • A person whose last relationship was with someone of the same sex and they’re the crazy ex and spying on the new partner that’s of the opposite sex or even have it be the other way around and nothing is brought up about the genders. It’s just normal jealousy tropes.
  • A non binary person that identifies as straight because that’s what they feel fits them best.
  • A straight couple where at least one of them is asexual.
  • A boy getting a makeover montage before he goes out on a fancy date.
  • Guys squealing and getting excited rather than acting all tough and manly when their buddy gets asked out by the prettiest girl in school.
  • A straight or bi person deciding that yeah they feel attraction, but relationships? Romance? Sex? Not for them.

And there’s a lot more I could think of. We don’t just need normal straight couples of the same ethnicity where the woman is one head shorter than the man and stupid cheating tropes and tomboys being turned into girly girls. There’s a world of possibilities out there and ways to show straight people how they can casually be friends with and in relationships with queer people too. I dunno. I just never see this particular thing being addressed.
