I'd love to have more healthy representation of straights.
Yeah because as a group, us straight people are REALLY underrepresented! 🙄
There might be a lot of unhealthy representation of the worst straight people, but by pure amount there's MUCH more healthy representation of straight people than everyone else because there's just so many times more of ALL kinds of representation!
We never went anywhere, we are the majority
And are extremely privileged.
most of us here in Gen X and Gen Z have nothing against LGBTQ+ people.
What's up with the millennial erasure? If anything, our ratio of allies to bigots is better than that of Gen X
Yet when we see any hetero activism, it's mostly about screwing LGBTQ+ people over
Because we don't need any hetero activism. We're already extremely privileged compared to everyone else. The ones that think hetero activism is necessary are mostly homophobes with a victim complex who think that "the gays are taking over" or some such bullshit.
not showing the beauty and variety of hetero relationships
Again, just watch the vast majority of depictions of relationships. The representation is not just there, it's overabundant to the point of exclusion and othering of LGBTQ+ people. That's the norm.
This skews many people's perception of what hetero relationships are and/or allowed to be
Bullshit. There's tons of representation of every type of hetero relationship in the world. It's not all either married people with 2.4 children and a golden retriever or LGBTQ+ people.
There is so much in there, all sorts of dynamics, all sorts of approaches, a beautiful spectre of whatever it can be.
All of which is receiving much more representation than LGBTQ+ people are, without bigoted LGBTQ+ people complaining every time.
And this is something to be celebrated - along with the beauty and awesomeness of LGBTQ+, not as an opposition.
Again, it is. Constantly. It's effectively Straight Pride month 11 months of the year everywhere. Us straight people are NOT being deprived.
