homestuck is great cause there’s not just stellar lgbt+ representation, but there’s so many different approaches to sexuality.
- Rose is a lesbian, and never really has any deep soul-searching or personal arc related to that. She just is, and everyone accepts that and moves on.
- On the flip side, Dave’s entire personal arc is directly related to compulsory heterosexuality and internalized homophobia. He goes on a serious journey to discover who he’s attracted to and what that means to him.
- Meanwhile Jake is generally questioning, and even at the end (pre-credits, idk about after) has no real idea what his sexuality is. and the best part is, he’s pretty much okay with that.
- And Dirk is 100% only attracted to men, but is really hesitant to deal with labels. he just dates who he likes and that’s about it.
- Finally there’s Roxy, who is basically attracted to everyone and mostly seems like she just doesn’t care about defining what that means.
I could go on, but I really love how it showcases how different everyone is and that there’s no real ‘right’ way to do sexuality. It’s ultimately just whatever makes you happy.
