You can
go here to read the article about it on AfterEllen. What I really liked about the article on AfterEllen was that it talked about the impact that fictional lesbian characters on TV have on the wider acceptance of homosexuality by society at large.
Whether we like it or not, we live in a celebrity and entertainment driven culture. The portrayal of lgbt characters on TV and in films really does affect how society views lgbt individuals. Visibility matters. If you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, _____ (insert any other term that means not-so-straight) I encourage you to come out.
Come out, come out wherever you are!!Visibility matters.
The more people who are willing to be out, the better. The more people who are willing to be open and honest about who they are and who they love, the better. Coming out is never easy, but it's the right thing to do. By coming out you will make it easier for the lgbt people who come after you. By coming out, you will help break stereotypes and help put a real face to lgbt issues. By coming out, you will make the world a better place

Couldn't say it better myself.
This is awesome.. but people are more accepting to lesbians than they are to gay men...
I love this story!
That's SO cute! In my school, we have a "best couple" and a "couple that should've been, but never was". For "best couple" it's ALWAYS a hetero couple, however, people go crazy in the "couple that should've been but never was" category. It's almost ALWAYS two guys. But this year it was this over-weight truant gangsta chick with this shy, satan-worshipping Chinese guy. Darn!
Omg. Paige and Alex are LOVE! They were my favorite Degrassi couple.
Sure, people are more open to lesbians, but I think it's time to turn it up a notch and teens should be able to be accepting to gay men just as they are accepting to lesbians.
