YOBcast 091: Gay Representation in Media

Do you ever see some of yourself in a character from a book, movie, or TV show? Why is that important? And why is it particularly important to feel represented with our sexuality? When have we found relatable, satisfying LGBT+ characters, if ever, and when have certain characters left us with longing? Is there any hope for a compelling, mostly satisfying “Side B” gay representation in media?

Join Tom, Aaron, and Ryan for a discussion Ryan’s been wanting to have for years!
