I believe that representation is important because if you do not see people like you then it is hard to find comfort in media. I believe this is important in queer media because when people are not represented it is harder for LGBTQ+ to identify with themselves and feel like they are not outcasts or outside of the norm.

This representation can be seen in more progressive shows where this representation is shown such as the show Euphoria. In this show the two main characters are two girls who are love interests. This type of representation on television no matter the content of the story shows that the stories of queer people are seen. One of the girls who is a transgender girl and her representation in the story is also important because it shows the stories of people who are not usually represented in media especially in television and movies.
