Wicked and the 1 Million Moms

The representation of minorities on TV and in films contributes greatly to the customer journey From Representation to Respect. If you regularly see someone with a neurodiverse condition, you get used to that phenomenon and those people, if an interracial marriage takes place you see that it is actually very normal, and if a gay kiss passes by you realize that Love is Love and that your neighbor, colleague, cousin might be queer.

That representation, especially of rainbow themes, does not go down well with – let’s be careful – conservative groups. They want everything to be just house, tree, pet, 1.7 blond children, so anything that deviates from that will damage the tender souls of children. At least, that is always the argument. Because children are impressionable, and maybe they will become transgender if they see that in a film!

One Million Moms (1MM) is one such group. Read my blog for ILoveGay.
