    Try existing in the rural parts of the country where no one is “like you”, and increasingly they claim all that “Hollywood media” is just propaganda.

    Seeing people like yourself, actual real people, has a huge impact in helping kids avoid isolation and in some cases connect with communities and avoid suicide.

    Feeling alone in the world is something teens are already prone to and this makes it so much worse for the LGBTQ kids out there. Their existence now being labeled on the same level as sexual content and gore.
