Are their some people who are kinda...fed up?
I like Netflix. A lot. And their originals, but lately they're been making me extremely uncomfortable with all the gay things they put into their 2018 and up shows. This usually wouldn't be a problem IF I didn't only watch shows that young children would watch. Thinking about it that way makes it much more uncomfortable for me. As of recently, i was generally fine with it as i was there for the story. However, with the 5 season of one of my favorite shows, She-ra and the princesses of power, it gave me the feeling that Netflix no longer has the intention of pushing out straight relationships anymore. Firstly, there are officially 3 homosexual relationships in the show, along with a genderless character. There are 2 straight relationships, however there wasn't a lot of clarity whether the characters were actually in a relationship. They did say 'I love you', but that word was overly used over the course of the season, mainly between friends. Unlike the gay relationships, there wasn't any kissing or loving looks. 2 of my favorite characters were one of the straight relationships who weren't given any of the kisses and such the gay relationships did. Which is kinda disappointing as a straight person, because i was hoping for the kiss between them the most. Along with the 2nd straight couple, because there wasn't even any confirmation the female liked the male back. And honestly i still haven't found out whether they're in a relationship now. I've told a couple of people about this, but they're gay and they say Netflix is doing it to represent the gay community. But with the release of that season, i feel like Netflix needs to take a chill-pill back with all the gay representation. Im sure im not the only person that feels uncomfortable with all the gay things major companies are constantly pushing out onto the minds of children. However, i have no one to talk to since it seems like nowadays every person is simply okay with this. So i want to talk to people who actually understand me. And if you don't, thats okay.
Personally I would have really liked to see some lgbt representation cartoons during the 90s when I was a kid and most of the cartoons at the time had quality content. And I see no problem even if a toddler saw any cartoon which has one or full on gay characters. From the beginning of cartoon(or any media) till now, there were only straight couples......

From the beginning of cartoon(or any media) till now, there were only straight couples in the lead and we could rarely see any lgbt reps and I wouldn't complaint if going on from now, there be an abundance of lgbt represented cartoons(or any media), or rather I would like for it to happen.
and thanks for the recommendation, I have been searching for a cartoon like this.

You should also watch the dragon prince too, if you don't lol.
Anyway, going back to your original comment, i get where you're coming from, but this isnt the 90's. EVERYONE is equal, EVERYONE deserves to have an equal place on the stage of television. I get that straights have had the spotlight for a long time, but we need to share the spotlight with the gays. Not let them keep it on them. What im saying is, media needs to find middle ground, and not in-balance things out anymore.
Even though it's the 21st century and we all say that everyone's equal but that's really not the reality. There are so many stigmatized types persons based on gender, sex, color, race, nationality, beauty and the list just goes on and it wouldn't change unless we force it. And in case of lgbt, barely half of the world allows couples to marry each other legally.
