The only reason I even watch Victorious. This couple has so much potential, it's not funny. But in all seriousness, I just imagine how much impact a same-sex couple on Nick would have. It would save so many kids from a whole lot of guilt and confusion in a couple years if a same-sex couple was portrayed as normal on Y7 rated show. In all tween shows, LGBT people just don't exist (a few jokes here and there, maybe, but that's about it). It makes it seem abnormal, when in reality, it's a part of life. People are gay. Deal with it. Within the Glee fandom, I see people all the time who have been able to come to turns with their sexuality/overcome homophobia because of certain couples or characters (namely the fabulous Kurt Hummel and the ever popular and also adorable Brittana). Now just imagine if being gay was presented as being perfectly normal early on. Being gay wouldn't be viewed disgusting or inappropriate by younger kids/tweens/teens. I cried myself to sleep the day I started to suspect I was gay in sixth grade. Being gay seemed like something unspeakable. It was a bad thing. If there had been a gay character on Lizzie McGuire or That's So Raven, it would've been so much better.

If Victorious isn't up to it, in a few years, I'll be more than happy to create a tween show with LGBT characters.
