[@vanessab.s2596]

I know of 2 characters... Lillith from The Owl House, who's aroace. It's never explored in the show thought, the series creator simply said it... And in Bojack Horseman there's a man who's asexual and it's a whole arc. He also gets into an asexual relationship

I was waiting the whole time for you to react to Kurt Hummel and his dad :( Please don't forget about that show next time, it's one of the most, if not the most, impactful shows in the world for the LGBTQ community, especially teens. What Glee showed and did was something that was never done before. They did an amazing job of representation for this community, you should really be reacting to them as well. Thanks! :)

[@isaacgleeth3609]

Next, we need one for animation. I would like to submit the final moments of the series finale of The Legend of Korra, aired in 2014. While nothing was said and no kiss occurred (like at the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender), the look that Korra and Asami give each other as they're holding hands says it all, and it wasn't something that was just added for virtue signaling. It was built up over three seasons--a look here, a reaction there, a moment. That moment was a major stepping stone for LGBTQ representation in animation (rhyme not intended).
