In recent times, queer media has continuously challenged traditional gender and relationship “norms” by giving more opportunities to underrepresented identities. This typically includes the LGBTQ+ community. Throughout the years, I have begun to see an increase in the amount of characters featured on shows that are either gay or exploring any another identity. For example, the hit sitcom Modern Family follows the lives of three different families that are all connected by some relation. Two of the main featured characters are a gay couple named Mitch and Cam. Mitch and Cam are lovable and hilarious. Moreover, they also provide glimpses of what their lives were like during their younger years and detail their experiences with coming out. I feel that these characters could be viewed as prominent role models and can help people of any age that are struggling with coming to terms with their identity. They serve as an example that it is possible to make it out of the hardships they faced.<\/p>\n
