Do you realize why Shiro being confirmed LGBT is so huge???

Netflix just took a stance on having gay characters, gay HEROES, be a role model for children ages 7 and up!!! Voltron is a show that is targeted to 7+ kids and teens and Netflix gave the thumbs up to have one of the heroes, if not the MAIN hero, be a gay man. Gay people in children’s entertainment is still wildly frowned upon, let alone a BADASS ACTION HERO!!! 

This is like how we all wanted Poe Dameron to be confirmed gay, but actually canonically happening and not unintentional queerbaiting.

This is a huge day for legitimate LGBT representation, and not just shipping headcanon assumptions. The crew decided to make a stand, make a decision, and MADE IT HAPPEN.
