#thats how much faith i have in gay representation on ted lasso and in mainstream tv in general

i know it might be weird to see the amount of people surprised that we actually got bi!keeley when she acts like THAT around Rebecca or any woman in general, but the thing is, I think a lot of us knew keeley was bi from the start; we just weren't convinced that the writers knew. as a gay ass bitch myself, i was still so convinced that her flirting with women would never actually be addressed for what it is. I’ve seen female characters written like this time and time again, where they cheer on their gal pals, pour compliments on them and be all touchy but it's totally platonic because that's just their dynamic. with ted lasso (or any mainstream show), I feel like the writers have to really spell it out in order to reassure its audience that what we are seeing is in fact what they are going for because we’re so used to being baited.
