Mickey is one of the closest representations of me I have ever seen in a show! I am so happy to see a Black fem gay trans guy. Watching this encourages me to keep acting. Thank you so much! Happy Pride! 🌈

[@some_gay_enby]

Is Mickey a trans guy? Where does it say that, i didnt know

[@williamzinedineh]

why do you need a carbon copy of yourself on the screen to relate?

[@aperson-zf9fy]

@@williamzinedineh because its nice to see yourself represented? And besides, he didnt say he needed an exact copy to relate, just that it was nice.

[@wandermit6714]

im white but seeing a fem trans guy in general was so validating i think im gonna cry

[@tmystery9505]

So you're a straight girl? Gay men are male. You are an appropriator.

[@prickles-bruh]

This is amazing! Teenagers created this? This is an incredibly well done product from the acting, plot line, pacing, unique characters/costumes, shooting, editing, and down right relatability. 11/10 I cannot wait until the next episode!

[@itswillowjoe4724]

My English teacher in high school was the first one to tell us that Shakespeare was actually bisexual. In the same lesson I come out as a lesbian, I felt really safe to do so.

[@grouchypseudopod354]

"we tried to get an asexual but they're really committed to their Homestuck roleplay" is literally the best thing that was ever said

[@shandera22]

Its also very fucking true of a stereotype ngl - an asexual

[@jennalasky5783]

As an ace, this line kind of rubbed me the wrong way. The tone it was said in implied the aces don't really belong in a gay/straight alliance club which leads to normalizing of ace-erasure

[@Blackgreywhite1317]

Seeing the cast have fun at the end is so nice !!! “Please don’t hurt me” “No this is a safe space” Says the one who chanted sacrifice

[@sashaadamova8620]

This is....probably the best representation of a GSA I have ever seen from the codependency to the obscure historical analasys. Love to see it!

[@charlotterose6669]

I was t in a Gsa but my queer friend group still all acted like this. I miss them sometimes.

[@Szapka]

I didn't like how the first scene turned into just insulting the teacher, but otherwise this was funny and adorable, and I can't wait to see what adventures they'll be getting into! The dramatic muffled "heterosexual" was the greatest ending ever. I remember seeing teasers to this on tiktok!

[@in_a_tizzy]

truly haha. as a queer teacher i’m like, yeah he sucks, but you don’t gotta piss on the man lol

[@thatperson8741]

same bruh

[@rewanthr]

I on the other hand was totally satisfied with the bullying! It was totally hilarious 😂

[@ella.r]

@@in_a_tizzy i want to say thank you for just...being a queer teacher. more representation in the classroom means a lot to me 💛

[@antha6906]

Literally. And though I agree that a lot of Shakespear's work is gay, it's kind of obnoxious to say you know better about the poem you *just* read than your teacher. Especially 'cus he's right about the sun being masculine if it's a reference to Apollo or Helios

[@thefirebug4068]

It reminds me of my Latin teacher in University. He is old but he is quite nice, when he is not screaming at students for getting rid of their phones (he hates phones). We were talking about Achilles story because it was part of a Latin text we were studying and while he was explaining this story to those who didn’t know it, he said: Then, Patroclus who was Achilles lover got killed. And it seems like nothing but it was the first time I have seen a teacher, especially his age talking about gay representation in history/legends without any issue. Usually, every other stories people tried to tell me was « They were best friends » « They were cousin/brothers » « They were very close » but not « Lovers ». I don’t know, I just feel like it’s cool coming from a teacher to recognize the existence of gay people in history and legends.

[@ApequH]

Oh, I love that! To be fair, who can concentrate with their phone?

[@binghamguevara6814]

Do you know about Ancient Egyptian history and incest? I’ve always known about Tutankhamen and Rameses 2nd but i learned recently that a majority of the Egyptian kings had sex with their sisters or fathers with daughters and brothers having sex with sisters. Should we teach children the incest families of the Ancient Egyptian kings and queens?

[@qaq8409]

@@binghamguevara6814Why not? It’s part of history and the worst you could do is lie about history. Of course, it can also provide to be a great opportunity to teach why incest is wrong and promote correct ethics

[@antha6906]

@@binghamguevara6814 yes?💀 Absolutely we should. We should teach history unscensored and unbiased. Isn’t that obvious

One minute in, and if someone talked back to a teacher in my school like that... man, I wouldn't want to be in the room. Ireland doesn't work like that.

I was able to watch this as a feature film during the Seattle Queer Film Festival. It got my vote for Viewer's Choice as the best film of the festival. Soooo happy to see it here and be able to watch again!

[@janajolanda132]

Love this so far but some ace rep thats not "homestuck roleplay????" Would be really nice.

[@JonathanB824]

i like the characters. i like that they aren't afraid to push back against horrible adults. these are the kids i wish i had been able to hang out with in high school. its just so refreshing to see something like this. and the fact that its making straight people angry means its hitting the nail on the head. let the defaults get angry. i want more, but please don't cave to straight pressure to change the show. also the principal demanding they add straight people was like peak fragile straight snowflakey goodness. that guy is good at playing a baddie. what straight people need to get through their default skulls is that if they want nicer gay people, then maybe be nicer to us. i really hope this show doesn;t become all about straight people and how we need them or some crap like that.

[@xandra3984]

AHHHH, this was SO GOOD!!! I can’t wait til the next one! (Also, im ace- I’ll happily help w your diversity numbers😌😂)

do characters have any other traits other than being gay? at some point it just becomes a parody of itself

As an American this was not my experience but I also went to a pretty liberal high school where this wouldn’t have even turned into a problem, because most teachers wouldn’t be too homophobic to even discuss it

[@alexisbrown8099]

I think they are supposed to be a bit annoying. Sorta of like an overexageration. I did know people who spoke like that to the teacher when i was in hs, but it was usually the sporty popular people or the partiers. So it's interesting seeing queer people assume that role

[@grgr-nt3kf]

i know this is supposed to be this great gay representation, but this series made my internal homophobia just skyrocket. I am 18 and only recently started accepting myself as a lesbian. I’ve grown up in a very conservative environment, where queer people were always seen as these “demons”. My upbringing made it almost impossible to accept myself. So, when I finally started feeling like I can be whoever I want to - I watched this series, and it feels like all of the hard work just vanished. There are a lot of stereotypes surrounding queer people. And having disrespectful behaviour and being social outcasts - are one of them. People avoid queer people because they think all of them act the same way. This series only supports those stereotypes. Have you seen the girl who literally ran away and asked not to kill her? Exactly. So, this series supporting that queer people can’t be accepted into the society because of the entangled version of who they are and how they act makes me lose all the hope. I wish I had never watched this.

I wonder where you got the name "Sarai Mendez" from and who her character is inspired by....hmmmm🙃. In all seriousness, super proud of you Kendall and the whole team behind Hetero. Seeing you develop this series over the years from just an idea you talked about in our own GSA back in high school, to a real series that is providing so much necessary representation to queer kids has been amazing. Our angsty queer teen GSA era has been immortalized in this time capsule and I love it. Here's to all the queer kids 🏳‍🌈
