In particular, couples have been getting some much-needed screentime. Not only that, they aren't treated as token characters on a checklist.

At the end of the day, the goal of representation is to show audiences these characters are just appreciate anybody else.
OK KO - Joff and Nick Army
A very subtle example, but that's exactly why it's important. Oftentimes, a lot of media form the mistake of making a big deal out of a character's sexuality. Yes, for stories that focus on the struggles of coming out, this is a valid way to introduce the story.

The 10 Best LGBTQ+ Couples in Animation
Over the past several years, animation studios and creators have made a greater effort to include and represent Homosexual characters and relationships.
