I've been noticing how more and more obsessed TMS and it's posts on the comment section are with putting gays in kids shows and movies. I'm for having gay couples, but it's starting to be more of a matter of life or death with them.

Yeah, I'm all for diversity, but common advice is "write what you know". I'd rather have a good story that doesn't go out of its way to include representation, rather than a bad one that focuses on that stuff.

It's really giving ammunition to conservatives who believe that the homos are trying to put gay people in kids' shows to turn their kids into fags.

That last bit you can easily summarize as 'Assigned Male.'

In a way, it's also important to teach kids that they should learn to enjoy people, even those that don't look like them or have certain labels.

Sometimes the comments are just as amusingly/infuriatingly obnoxious as the articles. I remember there was one comment on an article where one person complained that when white women give more attention (and do more stuff with) to slash pairings with white men, it hurts the pairings with POCs in it...

Or when Straight White Women ship two white villains together to get their "bad boy" and "sinful homolust" thrills at the same time, at the expense of the lead heroes of color (see: General Hux having more fics on Ao3 than Finn).

While Glamour has good intentions on going untouched, it can't escape the fashion faux pas of the dang, dirty, dominating men in the industry. Also Lena Dunham sperging because muh female empowerment.

It’s awesome that women filled up the roles both behind and in front of the cameras in this issue. But it seems like still having that male-created “art” on the cover of a fashion magazine—in this one issue; no one’s saying men’s work shouldn’t be on the cover of other months’ issues—is a missed opportunity to fully reach the magazine’s goal.

Pffft, don't take the moral high ground here just because it's someone you don't like. If Leslie Jones or some other strong, brave womyn of colour were doing this you'd be cheering them on.

James woods is know as Republican and is suspringly astute on the issue, I have no idea if he's actually said anything particulary bad, he's pretty salty on twitter but most celebrities are. I'd bet my right eye that if it where felicia day engaging in asinine bitchfits on twitter they'd be behind her however.
