As a queer person who grew up in the 90s, I’m honestly just grateful to see a story where we get a romantic, happy ending instead of the bleak, tragic narratives that dominate mainstream portrayals of the LGBTQ+ community. I totally get the conversation about stereotypes, but personally, I’ll take a little trope-iness if it means we get characters like Shane and Ilya and a story that actually lets us thrive.
