I’m not even gonna touch on Alli’s “pregnancy” scare, because I’m sure that shit’s fake…

But there’s tons of gay stuff going on this season, isn’t there? With Tristan, Fiona, Imogen, and Adam, Degrassi’s got LGBT down to the letter, literally. Now we’ve got the Romeo and Jules play, which is hilarious…but now is part of the main arc this season going to be homophobia gone wild? We’ve already got the homophobic asshole Baker twins, and then the entire hockey team is a bunch moronic jerks, what with Dallas already making a crack at Adam and now accusing Campbell of being gay. Then there were those leaked episode synopses that were on TeenNick’s site before season 11.5 started that talked about homophobic slander in the school, and Snake assembling a team of students to try find out who’s doing it.

Clearly, Degrassi’s tackling homophobia a grand scale for the first time. We’ve had Marco’s gay bashing and heckling from his father, then Riley’s internalized homophobia and feuding with Owen, but Degrassi’s never had outright anti-gay bigots in its halls before this. It’ll be interesting to see how far things go, and who will end up on what side of the…showdown. -_-
