Hopefully Sulu being gay will mean that Lucasfilms will feel like they have to one up Star Trek and add more gay characters. A chain reaction of making every character LGBT+ just because of rivalry.
i’m honestly really emotional about the sulu reveal in star trek because finally, finally, we have a character in a major mainstream film that isn’t a its-so-hard-being-gay-we’re-cheating-on-our-spouses-its-so-scandalous-and-sad oscar-bait drama. finally, hollywood might be recognizing that gay people can exist in universes other than sad, reality-laden ones that end in tragic death. we’ve taken the first step, into sci-fi, and it’s an incredible feeling.
now, all we can do is hope that other major studios take the hint.

There will always be those who mean to do us harm. To stop them, we risk awakening the same evil within ourselves. Our first instinct is to seek revenge when those we love are taken from us. But that’s not who we are.
