THANK you Gil, if there's one lesson Steven Universe teaches us is that gender and sexuality are not black and white. We definitely DO need more gay role models, but I'm not gonna hold it against Ciro Nieli for not making Raph gay.

But on the subject after thinking it over I can see Slash as gay...but not so much Raph. I see it of it was one of those, unrequited love deals. Plus Slash calls him brother in later episodes, so either he sees him as a brother after his first appearance or has given up on romance but doesn't want to lose the one person he cares about most. And well, that happens! Gay people fall for straight people, straight people fall for gay people, and sometimes when they try to romance said friend you end up LOSING them, but they were able to keep that friendship, even becoming brothers in arms.

Final note I'm...on the fence on Degrassi. I saw one ep where there was a new girl at school, who one of the main characters didn't like, and after they befriended her SHE REVEALS that she's a boy-friend stealer and asked who to stay away from. So were the previous seasons better than what I saw, was that like the next generation or something? Because who BOY was that bad. Speaking of Steven Universe,the show might get shut down because of this.
