Why are there so much more gay men than other lgbt in media
In books, movies, tv shows, etc when it's not straight cis people it's freaking gay men? And really just gay men...rarely bi men and almost never lgbt women. I'm a lesbian, so this is from my experiences. I mean it does help me to see same sex relationships but I always wish I saw more of my gender. Trans people are no where to be seen in media and if they are they die within 30 minutes usually. Hollywood has a problem with killing all the lgbt characters, but lets face it gay men are much more likely to survive. And they're almost always white. The only media I've seen break this are:
- fanfiction (but that's pretty white gay male dominated too)
- Pretty Little Liars (asian and black lesbian lead characters)
- Cartoon Network is actually great in this area
And the worst part is gay men ignore it so freaking much! I saw a post saying "representation of the lgbt" then gay in big letters, lesbian in small letters, bisexual in smaller letters, and transgender in fine print. Some gay man was all "wah wah we don't get that much representation it's always straight people!1!1!" And they always take issues just one part of the community faces and make it like they're always the victim. Example: with the trans bathroom issue one of them was comparing it to segregation and they made it "lgbt people" and "straight people" bathrooms.
1. That's not even what's happening they're forcing trans people (they're harder on trans women, but that's another story) use the bathroom of the gender they don't identify as
2. It's not happening to your cis ass!
Why is it so much more exceptable to be a white cis gay male then any other lgbt person?
