In case anybody was still wondering why it's really important to have positive portrayals of gay, lesbian, transgender, and queer characters in fictional media:

The comments are beautiful, too.

Edited: Post is locked to sailormoonfans, sorry. But basically it's a bunch of people talking about how watching Haruka and Michiru made them start challenging (sometimes their own ingrained) heterosexism, and the OP also makes the connection between the Starlights and not being freaked out the first time that she met a transitioning person, too.
