Season Eight’s all-queer cast is breaking down barriers in a staunchly heteronormative genre

elicits thousands of applications, which are whittled down to 80 finalists, who are then flown to L.A. to be interviewed. The goal is to find out who could match with whom, and who has the kind of personality to make great TV.

That magic includes a queer prom re-do where the dress code was anything goes, lots of kissing games, and way more group processing than any dating show you’ve ever seen. Cast member Kai Wes, a trans-masculine nonbinary person , says the show was like going to “queer summer camp.” Aside from the chance to find love, Wes was also drawn in by the idea of making people like himself more visible on television. It’s part of the reason, in one early episode, Wes asks his love interest Jenna Brown to accompany him while he injects himself with a dose of testosterone as part of his transition.

MTV has been an absolute joke for over a decade now. All they show is worthless, idiotic reality television and the channel needs to go away for good. It’s a disgrace to have “Music” in their name.

I think I already know

A music magazine is promoting a music TV station that doesn't really have anything to do with music? How odd.

A cast of people in major need of psychiatric help. Got it.

Could it change them so they don’t exist anymore?
