But that's my entire shtick!
I am happy to answer - I'm straight and cis, and happily together with someone,
I have a lot of LGBTQ+ friends in real life - in no small factor influenced by where I went to university, where I live, and the hobbies I have.
I do believe that more representation in media would be good for everyone. Familiarity is the greatest weapon against bigotry. It's easy for people to hate an entire demographic they've never met - much harder if you know a couple and you see they're just normal people like everyone else.
But in this case, no such lofty ideals, it's purely happenstance. In an early session, I ended up needing to answer the question of Konsi's preferences, and I just picked randomly.

Fully agree with that. I changed my views on transexuels once one of my favourite youtubers came out and I got used to simply... seeing them every week ? And now I'm way more informed and familiar to it and to them.

And thank you for the answer.
