I watched the orphan black reboot. Pretty much all the women are lesbians. I think it was the only way to make the plot line work. But I’m like. … In the real world it’s just not THAT common.
I mean I laughed just cause it seemed like they had to make all the women gay to make the new story work with the previous story.
If you watch it you will get what I mean. I wasn’t bothered by it though. Just amused a bit. Never seen so many lesbians in a TV show like that.
They did do it well though. Didn’t stoop to using stereotypes or the masculine-fem pairing that is prevalent in gay media representation.
My gay friend says that cis producers can’t imagine genuine gay couples that don’t have a man-woman dynamic (mostly cause of cultural gender roles in a relationship ), So they always project this onto gay couples. I think he’s right about that.
