Still on my soapbox about how the cancellation of queer shows is tantamount to book bans. While 1 in 4 queer-inclusive shows are cancelled, the average streaming cancellation rate is only 12%. It's part of the anti-LGBT sentiment sweeping the nation. This isn't a new phenomenon, but its impact is becoming more and more important.
When queer shows are cancelled, it sends the message that our stories are not valuable, are not wanted. It also steals away representation which not only normalizes queer people for straight audiences, but also allows queer people to feel seen and affirmed.
Queer folks still have dire mental health outcomes. It gets worse as more anti-LGBT laws are passed.
🌈 If you want to help, you can start by streaming the hell out of queer series on any platform. Get your friends and family in on it. Heartstopper, Dead Boy Detectives, and Our Flag Means Death are a solid place to start.
You can sign DBDA's petition, fill out Netflix's request form with specific queer shows you want renewed (once per day per device), and rate your favorite queer shows and episodes on IMDB. If you're on Twitter, check out the #CanceledByNetflix tag and the account @CancelNetflix. You can tweet at or message your preferred streaming platforms on most social media too (Facebook, Tiktok, Insta, Twitter, Tumblr).
And spread the word :) Our stories deserve to be told.

HOLY SMOKES!
Huzzah, crew! We've reached our first goal, meaning we can fund 4 days of the billboard! We have upped the goal amount on Ko-Fi to £12,500 to include our first stretch goal + processing fees. Thank you so much, sailors! 🐙❣️
Our next goal is LED advertising trucks, so we can take our campaign directly to the streamers. 🏴☠️ Amazon, Apple & Netflix all have HQs in London - let's show them how devoted we are (and how lucrative OFMD could be for them)! 😉
While the billboard shouts OFMD fans' love and commitment from the rooftops, advertising trucks let us woo streamers in a more targeted way. Just like we do on social media! We're excited to chase after this goal with you, crew! For more information on our financial/transparency policies and our plans for the campaign, here are some helpful links! 🪙 Save OFMD Financial Policy https://ofmd-renewal-repo.knowledgeowl.com/help/sofmdc-transparency-policy… ❓Billboard Project FAQs http://projects.saveofmd.com
