Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
The fact that Ted Lasso cut away from Colin coming out to the team, after we hear him saying he doesn’t want to be a “spokesperson”, is so powerful to me. As much as I love queer representation in media, I feel like sometimes there is this hyper-focus on the coming out scenes, as the pinnacle of the queer experience that get thrust into the spotlight for the emotional payout from the audience.
That may resonate for some people, as coming out is obviously a big thing and can feel like a spotlight moment. But I feel like there are a lot of people out there whose greatest wish is for coming out to not be a thing. To not be a big moment. To not have to be a spokesperson.
And I love that Ted Lasso gave Colin that.
