My love letter to the queer silver lining of 2020
A lot of revolutionary, unprecedented things happened in 2020 ā that... goes without saying
But among all the chaos, one thing I can be grateful for was the surge of queer representation in western animation
I feel lucky to be alive in this time of change, and Iām also excited for the younger generation who gets to grow up with these explicitly queer shows
It gives me hope that this kind of representation will make it easier for them to figure things out :ā)
Hereās to a safe, happy, and loving 2021, and hereās to being seen!! ā¤ļøš

āWhat hits really hard in moments like this is that reallyā¦ nothing is forever. The loss of history, of art, of creation, is real and deeply tragic. But whatās really itching at the insides of my chest is watching something I thought was forever suddenly not exist.
āWe know this, of course. We know in our brains that nothing lasts. But that doesnāt stop us from just going about our lives forgetting about that reality. And then we get hit in the face by itā¦ sometimes individually, sometimes collectively.
āA lot of us are feeling this now togetherā¦ though at the same time, many other people donāt have such a visceral tie to Notre Dame. Which is why Iām doing my best to not be very angry at the āitās just a buildingā comments. (Though, honestly, if thatās how you feel, be quiet.)
āBut Katherine also reminded me that Notre Dame is not one thingā¦ and while nothing lasts, the story of human culture isnāt of building things that last forever, itās changing, growing, progressing, remembering, and /rebuilding./
āShe reminded me that Notre Dame is history, but so is today. We donāt get to be separate from history. And we are not the first people to see beautiful things destroyed. Indeed, weāre not the first to see much of Notre Dame Cathedral destroyed.
āMuch of Notre Dame is nearly 1000 years old. Some of it is 50 years old. The spire was built 150 years ago. The Rose Window is (was) from the 1200s. Itās heartbreaking.
"But in a moment when Iām reminded of how fragile things are, I also want to be reminded of how much we have created and preservedā¦ and how much we have rebuilt. So that feeling is in there with the bad ones. Itās not bigger than the bad ones, but itās in there too.ā
- Hank Green after talking with his wife Katherine about the tragic fire consuming Notre Dame
