this is great story line but rlly sucks they couldnt put one straight person or male in the whole show. im all for diversity. nd even having most the cast LGBTQ is fine but its nice to identify with at least one character in a show. . .

Just a heads up this does have a decent story and voice acting but it is overshadowed by use of sexual pronouns. If you can't get past that (a few times every episode) it can be decent, but it will be around 5 min of every episode and got really out of place on some episodes.
