A comment on this article. This is what stories are for, this is what representation is for. We need storylines like this so that 13 year old girls can know that it’s okay and beautiful to like girls and not boys. We need storylines like this so that these girls have an opportunity and a situation in which to bring this up with their family, to start the conversation. We need storylines like this so that every family reacts just as positively as this one to news like this about their child.
I was honestly not expecting the amazing coming out scene we got in tonight’s Supergirl ep. It surprised me with its candor, its sincerity, its REALNESS. I know it resonated with a lot of people, and it certainly resonated with me. It certainly resonated with this 13 year old girl. So thank you Supergirl, thank you to the writers, to Chyler and Floriana. You did good tonight.
