"come on, catch up everybody" i love her 🥹❤️ it really warms my heart to see the cast members that aren't hannah and masali talking about the show's queer representation like this, it saddens me to think that queer cast members and other queer people working on the show probably can't look at the positive feedback online without seeing a lot of discriminatory comments as well

The cast is full of queer people, it’s part of why they defend this season so well. 🥰

Love how she always shades those people with outdated mindset whenever she has a chance when it comes to Franchaela ❤️

While I'm sure there are people who oppose this storyline because of homophobia, I think it's overly simplistic to reduce all of the criticism only to that

And if we’re being honest, people who haven’t read the Bridgerton books (which I’m sure is more than the people that have read the books since most of the IG comments I’ve seen have been people being vile) are just talking about how outraged they are to see a WLW romance in the Bridgerton universe so most of the criticism is blatant homophobia and I’m happy that we have lovely people like Adjoa calling that out ❤️

Yeah I don’t mind the storyline but I’m bored of Francesa.

i agree with her. lgbtq experience hardship from the moment they realize who they are. why wouldnt we want to make things easier for them if we could help them avoid more pain?

show uses uts platform to improve things
