Honestly, I'd love to have more healthy representation of straights.
We never went anywhere, we are the majority, and most of us here in Gen X and Gen Z have nothing against LGBTQ+ people.
Yet when we see any hetero activism, it's mostly about screwing LGBTQ+ people over, not showing the beauty and variety of hetero relationships, which is not only the traditional nuclear family.
This skews many people's perception of what hetero relationships are and/or allowed to be. There is so much in there, all sorts of dynamics, all sorts of approaches, a beautiful spectre of whatever it can be.
And this is something to be celebrated - along with the beauty and awesomeness of LGBTQ+, not as an opposition.
They don't need to be represented, that's the point. That's why white pride events are automatically racist. Heterosexual is the default and already exists in every single culture and is extremely celebrated. What do you think every single love/romance media is about? This is so dumb lol.
You might wanna read something again before claiming that.
The text contains an answer - because heterosexual relationships, like any other ones, are very different from each other, and we should represent more than a traditional nuclear family.
Though, judging by your nickname, it's a low-effort troll commentary anyway, so I'll cut it at that.
