** What Does Gen Z Want on TV? Everything Under the Rainbow ([link removed].)
------------------------------------------------------------
So many current TV shows want to speak to Gen Z, but does the queerest generation on record actually feel seen when we watch shows like Euphoria, Heartstopper, and Yellowjackets?
What do queer kids want from film and TV representation, ([link removed].) and what are the onscreen images that speak most to us as a community?
INTO asked queer and trans kids what they want to see ([link removed].) and what makes us feel seen. In our latest digital cover story, we talk about the past, present, and future of queer media in a time when representation is becoming a lifeline for so many teens under attack across the country.

— Olive Benito

— Rose Fyffe
