I can't love Danny, since his character is not well-developed. He's only a side character. While I find it great that there is ONE openly gay character in the series (not really, while queer are a minority this representation is ridiculous), he only plays a minor role and is not important to the story at all. Jeff should just have made one of the main characters gay or bi--or whatever, but he didn't. There is no good reason why he couldn't have done so. Being queer does not define a person, no matter what he believes.

A good character he could have turned queer without any influence on the plotline would have been Stiles. All this behaviour, like asking Danny if he was attractive to gay guys? It would have fitted beautifully. He wouldn't even have to be paired up with a guy or come out to anyone. Just him remarking on the sexyness of some random guy and a quiet moment of introspection would have been enough. He could also still have been paired up with a girl and remain in the closet about his bisexuality.

Its not about pairing Stiles up with anyone its about queer people being able to empathize with a character. Making minor side characters gay does not suffice. How could anyone empathise with a character whose most defining feature was his sexuality?

It's about showing people that sexuality does not define a person, that it doesn't matter. It's about fighting homophobia. While Danny is a good start, it's just not good enough.

Where are the asexuals, pansexuals, bisexuals, and most important of all: This series is about teens. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE SEXUALLY CONFUSED TEENS?! The teens are the age of explortation, confusion and embarassment and we have seen none of it. Even completely straight teens pracitice kissing with their friends, ofter of the same gender. Or teens just fooling around with their friends. Again, I've seen lot of guy on guy action in my school. And those guys were perfectly straight.

Teen Wolf fails completely to convene this. To mirror reality as it is.
