"However. Regardless of the overall death toll of a show, the death of a gay character nevertheless has different cultural context & emotional weight, as there are unlikely to be many other gay characters in the piece of media. Gay audience members are generally left with no one else to relate to, or only the grieving partner of the dead gay."

Miller and Bryan do not make up for it remotely. They're tertiary characters who, up until this week, no one would have known they were a couple if it weren't for JR tellng us over social media. I understand that. Killing off an LGBT character definitely has a huge affect on the LGBT community and in no way am I saying that it doesn't matter. I just don't understand why people think that Lexa was killed because she was a lesbian. When that was clearly not the case. Her death was poorly executed yes, and raising awareness for LGBT characters on Tv is cool to see. But trying to cancel the show is in my opinion wrong. If they dont like the show they they don't have to watch. Not everything in life is going to go the way you want.
