i just finished watching The Question and my poor lesbian ass is crying because holy shit she really did just. she just said it. she just asked sapphire to marry her. no two ways about it. right there on tv on a cartoon for kids. two girls. in love. getting married. all those little ones who are gonna see that, who are gonna be able to internalize that happiness and joy and love like so many of us never were able to. i’m a little jealous if i’m honest that i didn’t have this at 10, at 13, at 15 even. but goodness am i moved beyond words these kids have it now. that i, at nearly 27 years old, have it now. because it matters even now that i’m an adult. 

i cry a little every time women are allowed to be happy and in love in children’s and young adult’s media because wow is it a fight every time. these tears are of joy – for me, for the other wlw who will see this positive message, for the children watching of all identities because they will see this as good and normal and it will matter down the line. the world is a shitshow right now, but i’m going to hold on to this little ray of light so tight i hope it fuses with me.

thank you crewniverse. thank you rebecca sugar. we needed this.
