This is The OC in Middle-America, with the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll amped up far beyond anything that show ever achieved. But I'm more specifically wanting to talk about the LGBTQ aspects of this show…or more accurately G for gay I suppose, as the rest of the spectrum of sexuality (aside from heterosexuality) is[...]

So it seems insanely narrow-minded and counter intuitive to say that there wouldn't be a homosexual character in that world."

Scenes which aired with no problems in the US, which has traditionally been a fair bit more behind than the UK as far as LGBTQ representation is concerned, are being cut up by Cartoon Network UK to make it 'more comfortable' for children and parents.

By Joe Glass It's been an interesting year for LGBTQ+ representation in comics Hell, it's been an interesting year for the LGBTQ+ community at a whole Parts of the world have become more open to accepting the LGBTQ+ people in their lives, while others have back-pedalled to older, more negative stances.

An outside effect CAUSES your difference.
