Y’all need to signal boost the shit out of this.
To give you some perspective of how big this is, note that this is a lauded TV Guide editor writing, plainly:
That is what fans are calling for when they ask for Dean’s queerness to come to fruition — simply to be seen. They aren’t just Becky Rosens, projecting their fetishized desires onto a platonic friendship simply to see two attractive men make out. They’re doing so because they want to see themselves accurately reflected onscreen, rather than turned into a plot device or reduced to a dangling carrot to entice a queer audience before shouting “No homo!”
This is exactly the kind of press the fandom needs to make our message heard. If we make this article big enough, if we get TV Guide enough traffic on it, they might write about it more often. If TV Guide writes about it more often, then other outlets will write about it too. If enough outlets write about it, Supernatural is going to get a viral shitstorm on their hands that they’ll have to address.

come on win me back.
Whether you care about SPN or Destiel at all, this is still a really good article to read and give hits to because it’s dealing with a lot of the stuff that we as members of various fandoms and supporters of media diversity have been having conversations about for a long time. To see that in such a mainstream, middle of the road publication’s blog is a big deal and one worthy of supporting.
