Mitch Downe From "Paranorman" Is Awesome Gay Representation
Gay representation is out there, but to portray a character who's gay as a big, happy brute is a rare treat.

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: I also have a dad. Although this movie is a family movie, it is actually very good for adults too, particularly for fathers. In the recent Chinese rapid economic boom, everybody is concentrated on making more money by working extra jobs or extra long hours, and as a result, the family is ignored. Of course this applies to both men and women but in China, it is often the man who is the bread winner of the house. This movie advocates the fact that family should not be sacrificed for making financial gains and it did a good job by depicting in the eyes of young kids. - zzmale @ zzmale

An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
