[@DRofYouTube]

I like how everyone here is kinda reluctant and scared to come out and then Luz is just like "oh bi the way I'm bi" and then Gus pulls out the rainbows. people shouldn't have to feel the need to be scared of coming out and Luz is a perfect example of that. Edit: a lot of people are saying “well that’s not how it is in real life, being scared of coming out is valid”. This is true, however, in my original comment I meant that in an ideal world, people wouldn’t have to be scared of coming out. We do not live in an ideal world, so there are many justified fears in coming out, but Luz’s coming out is exactly what an ideal world’s coming out would look like. Sorry for the lack of clarification.

[@gaycartoons]

yeah, the other scenes are very important and realistic and everything, but I also love Luz's coming out being just, full of joy and rainbows! I think it's so important to have representation of different types of coming out!

[@DRofYouTube]

I genuily loved how the Owl house portrayed Luz and Amity. There was no focus on it being special or wrong, but instead on their actual relationship developing, and their own character stories. We need more natural representation. I hope the next generation experience their romantic identies without ever feeling like their in the wrong.

[@gaycartoons]

I love them too! I think it's important to have shows that do address our identities and the struggles we face, but it's also important to have shows where that isn't the focus and we just get to exist!

[@stxrstruck6755]

It's most likely because homophobia and transphobia don't exist in the Boiling Isles. Their entire society is different, and they don't seem to have that kind of discrimination. A lot of shows have to add homophobia to a gay character without just letting them be gay. The Owl House had Luz in an environment where it didn't matter. In fact, the Boiling Isles is Luz's way of being herself, including her bisexuality and neurodivergence. I love that ❤️

Definitely Norma's coming out scene with her mom. That scene right there is something everyone deserves to have when they are scared to come out to their Moms or to their Dads or to anyone close to them really.

[@gaycartoons]

that's one of my favourites, too! it was so well done and felt the closest to my feelings around coming out (the scenario was totally different, but something about it felt really relatable!). and the instant and unquestioning acceptance and love was so heartwaming! particularly as she recognised it was a big deal and treated it specifically as *positive* rather than neutral (like her child being queer is a good thing, rather than just the 'I don't mind' kind of reaction).

I'm also really enjoying Claudia's villain arc. really cool to see the two basically switch places.

[@iainwhite8617]

I makes sense actually. Viren's motivations are all about evening the playing field between humans and the other races. To him and claudia, dark magic represents a way to transend the limitations of their birth and become something more. Sure, Callum learned how to use an arcanum, and perhaps other humans could as well, but most elves and dragons think of humans as lesser beings. In his own way I think Viren understands what it's like to be trapped in the limitations others ascribe for you and want to beak free. He sees Terry as someone that wouldn't let others tell him what he could be and transmuted himself into something better. Possibly literally since I don't imagine elves have hormone therapy.

My favourite one must be Terry. The poetic way of saying it and Virens reaction just makes it an emotional and beautiful scene.

[@gaycartoons]

oh there've been tons of shit comments unfortunately but I hide them all bc no one needs to see that! I'm sorry things are that way with your parents.

[@Tak-z7d5k]

@@novaspec404 It's truly disheartening to hear about your struggle, and I want you to know that you're not alone. Coming out as trans can be a challenging journey, and it's understandable that you're hesitant to share your truth with your parents, especially given their stance on LGBTQ matters. But remember, your true self is valid and important, and you deserve to be respected and accepted for who you are. Sometimes, it takes time for people to come around and understand what it means to be part of the LGBTQ community. But whatever happens, always prioritize your own well-being and safety.

i love how paranormal park just says it, no beating around the bush, its really nice to hear shows coming out with specified labels

i think raul's scene feels the most realistic, kat doesnt really bring up gender, just doesnt ask any questions and treats him like anyone else. you can see rauls reaction to that being positive :) that whole movie dealt with him very nicely, they acknowledged it yet didnt make it his only character trait. i also loved how they showed his mom sticking up for him when people misgendered him, it warmed my heart

[@gaycartoons]

i love that scene too!! i think they're all realistic in different ways, but there's a lot to love about his and about him in general :)

I know this isn't exactly a coming out scene but I like the scene in the final episode of Gravity Falls where Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland more or less confirm that their relationship is romantic. Especially the "Zap Zap we're mad with power, and love" quote.
