They become close and start to spend every day with each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few episodes we start to see Nick discover his sexuality and see him breakdown over the realization that he is gay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These very moments in a queer person\u2019s life are fundamental to who that person grows up to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to see someone go through the panic of realizing they\u2019re gay is all too relatable to those in the LGBTQ+ community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through these moments you can\u2019t help but think about how your life would change and the relationships you might lose because being gay is something people don\u2019t agree with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What really brought tears to my eyes was seeing all the things that many of us who are queer, couldn\u2019t have growing up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many of us go without experiencing love at an early age, the support of friends who also identify as LGBTQ+, or even just getting the opportunity to come out and be our authentic selves at a youthful age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This series presents a diverse cast and list of characters. There are people from a wide variety of races, ethnicities, sexualities, and even viewers get to see the life of a transgender girl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s nice to see that big companies like Netflix are starting to show more recognition to their audience and bring more representation to the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this show has been one of the best ones I have seen this year. I rate it a 9\/10, and highly encourage all <em>Netflix<\/em> users to watch it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Netflix series will leave you teary For those who want to shed a tear because they never had their chance at young love or&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":7168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[233],"class_list":["post-7166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"aioseo_notices":[],"cc_featured_image_caption":{"caption_text":false,"source_text":false,"source_url":false},"authors":[{"term_id":233,"user_id":88,"is_guest":0,"slug":"erik-estrada","display_name":"Erik Estrada","avatar_url":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/be76e91319a46574d386477e0fe2c8ce.jpg?ver=1778637593","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/88"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7169,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7166\/revisions\/7169"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7166"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=7166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
