I’m So Sick Of People Pretending That Just Because Gay Men Got Several Really Good Shows, That All

I’m so sick of people pretending that just because gay men got several really good shows, that all of queers are being represented the same.

like i’m so glad for you guys (gay men) that you get the rep you deserve. But don’t pretend like all of queers are being represented that way. Almost every single lesbian show has been cancelled or even completely removed from the streaming service like it never happened. And even then they’re usually not nearly as well made or well liked. They’re usually just made as an afterthought and then cancelled after the first season, even if they were well received. Don’t get me wrong we have shows like Warrior Nun or Yellowjackets and I love those. But we don’t get the sweet romance with no shame. We don’t get the “Dear Ed, i love everything about you”.

Like i’m so glad you guys get this representation, god knows you deserve it. And i’m not saying you can’t celebrate! Celebrate to the rooftops but please remember Queerness isn’t just gay men! There are more of us out here! the fight isn’t over. Queerness means all of us and there isn’t representation for all of us.

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.
