WE do not live in the world of the 100. WE live in OUR world, where homophobia is still a problem, where the lgbt community is still discriminated against.

that's why her presence matters.

"point is that people have been putting too much focus on that, as if it was the defining point of her story"

i repeat:

''the reason i don't bring UP the fact that lexa was everything other than gay is because everyone knows this. no one QUESTIONS this. no one COMPLAINS about her being strong or whatever. but people are complaining that fans are getting too worked up over lexa's death because she's gay, and THAT is why i am so vehement on the subject. that is why i talk about how this aspect of her character in particular is so affecting.''
