Yeah, Ive seen so little of gay man representation that when I do it feels almost like finding a shiny pokemon. Lesbians are not threatening to the bigot’s eye and thus if media shows gayness, it’s almost always lesbian gayness
Are you sure? I’ve seen plenty male gay family member representation in series and such, but almost zero lesbian representation.
I can think of several series and sitcoms with some male gay couple; modern family, shameless and Brooklyn 99 come to my mind, the only one where there’s some lesbianism that comes to my mind is “la que se avecina” , which is a trash show anyway and both women are bi, not even lesbians.
I wonder if your phone would do that really satisfying “rr-rr-RRRRRR-RRRRRRR-rr” vibration pattern like it does encountering a shiny in Pokémon Go whenever you face a genuine representation of a gay man in a public space?
Gay men are trying to be attractive to men after all, while lesbians are not so I guess it’s not super surprising. Might mean you’re not exactly a zero on the Kinsey Scale though.
That’s odd, because as a straight man I find gay men more appealing than lesbians 🤔🤔🤔

Brooklyn 99 has a whole story line about Rosa coming out as bi. That’s not exactly the same thing as writing her Lesbian, but it’s representation.
Bi women are allowed to be lesbians if they want
Maybe I just don’t see the right stuff, actually that’s the most probable explanation

One of the main characters in Agatha All Along is a gay man, at least according to the Talmud. According to Agatha he’s a kid

That was the joke
