Does increased media representation truly foster societal acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals?
I've been thinking about how LGBTQ+ representation in media has changed over the past decade, from shows like Pose to mainstream ads featuring same-sex couples. But visibility is one thing—acceptance is another, and I wonder if the increase in representation has actually shifted public opinion or just created a bubble where it's safe for some but not for others. Do you think the rise of LGBTQ+ characters in TV and film has genuinely made society more accepting, or has it just made companies profit from rainbow logos while real-world discrimination persists?
