Gay People Are Better At Reality TV than Straight People
With this week’s finale of Are You The One?, the show earned major praise and is already gearing up for another season with a sexually fluid cast. This season’s LGBTQ+ cast breathed new life into the dating show, and it’s time to face a long-unacknowledged truth: gay people are better at reality television than straight people. Why? Reality TV cruxes on the question “Why should I care about you?” and queer folk DELIVER because that’s basically what society is asking us every day. The LGBTQ+ community is used to justifying its existence to the world. Whether it’s the AYTO finding themselves or Drag Race queens breaking boundaries, queer reality stars represent a cause bigger than themselves, and audiences delight in rallying behind them. — Rachel
